Travel happily naked 500 miles across country, to a place that is a resort not a penned in farm, not a factory, but not free range, BUT has hiking of hundreds of square miles off of the property to explore, railroad and state and federal land, remote, but no different from any federal property, is free range. There are no fences, just a gate on the road. If the resort didn't maintain the road, we would have to 4x4 to get back into those places, or hike cross country 4 miles from the Jacumba exit.
The Organization holding the event is NOT ANRR, it is TNS, NAC and NEF which supports and encourages all free range activities and body freedoms, defends free range naturists in courts and in legislative bodies and naturism in general as well as a good place to take a break without concern for arrest, until the law changes. Then, I carnuded back. We had fun, NAKED. Mostly insulated from the usual risks in an RV, which you called secret naturism a couple of years ago when you tripped across the country. We didn't go down to the reservation called Black's Beach, but that wouldn't be there if it wasn't created by free range naturism and it still isn't recognized or officially roped off and signed. Just because it is easy doesn’t make it any less free range.
I met a group called Camping Bares, who group camp and hike free range in organization. An anarchist Disorganization Dedicated to the Destruction of the Fabric of our Society according to the business card.
Those rocks and landscape roamed naturally are called nature and appreciated for their spirit. That is a part of naturism. That is not sitting by a pool with a beer nude.
The topics were not about resort properties, they were about how to get body freedom and the use of public lands. An incremental step is land set aside, not an end in itself, that's a part of the organization, too.
Free range is without boundaries, either by stealth, or your ballsy act. It is also, making oneself free to go ANY place nude, even if a resort is incidental, a part of and fun. My website is to encourage people to think outside boundaries who are stuck in them. There is nothing wrong with what they are doing. They are just getting ripped off because there is more.
Free Range doesn't have to mean without organization, and nude rights won't be maintained without some degree of organization. There was a factory farmed aspect to the trip, because it needed a venue. You wouldn't expect a group of anarchist to meet in a field so as not to pay somebody rent for a space, would you? Wake up and read the article again with your eyes and mind open, Bob. I know that you have a chip on your shoulder about ANRR, me to, but there is no excuse there to cop an attitude about TNS, or part of a trip that needs to be in a resort with conference rooms, or a patio with some fun. Through the years they have promoted nude hiking, naked bike rides, gardening, philosophy encouraging naturism and fighting the bad laws, sometimes with practical reason and more often with balls. People need to know that they are there and we all need to contribute to be free.
If it helps console your sensibilities, just figure that the time on the resort was like clothed time in any vacation and incidental to the rest that was freehiking and carnuding. I'm offended by the opinion, but that's okay, just lay off the insults like "nudism" and discounting games.
I'm not about to hide away in my hole, sneaking around like a rat in the night. I'm going to make changes happen, have fun and do it as naked as I can, where I need to. That's a part of my free range and participation with these people is a part of that. Free range is both an inside state and outside.
I gotta go meet DF, I’ve no time to edit. I’ll have to take care of that tomorrow.
Sheeze!
