Hi. My name is Terry and I am new to this site. My wife Judy and I have been naturists for over 30 years now. Our first dive into naturism was The Orient Land Trust, in 1985 it was called Valley View Hot Springs in Colorado. A very good friend of ours that was living in Denver told us we needed to visit this place. She did not tell me it was clothing optional. Been hooked ever since.
I knew at a very young age I wanted to be naked outside. In my 20's I thought of seeking out professional help with these weird thoughts of wanting to be naked. Then I found Lee Baxandall's world guide, after visiting Orient Land Trust, and found other people have the same thoughts as I!
So in 30 years, we have belonged to two nude campgrounds in Wisconsin, with permanent trailers at each. We lived in San Diego for 12 years, going to Blacks Beach just about every weekend for 2 years, hanging out with The Camping Bears. Went to several nude resorts in California. Bought a house in Tucson with a clothing op backyard. Our relatives think we are strange, but they still love us.
My wife and I now live in the east side of Tucson, lived here 7 years now. I'm semi-retired, and we just bought a park home at DeAnza Springs in Jacumba. We visited there 3 times, and on the 3rd visit, we decided to retire there.
