Our 2016 calendar (mostly New England)

[John P]

This is the calendar for the Active Naturists of America, New England Chapter. (I did not choose the name, and we're more of a group of friends than a real organization.) If anyone can manage to link up with us for any of these events, we'd love to meet you; we're definitely open to new friends. The one exception is the week-long trip to Vermont in August, where we're socializing at close quarters, and for that we prefer to get to know people first.

Note especially "July 16-24 -- Nude hiking with Milton in Colorado". We seem to have several of us planning to do that trip. Any more hikers want to join? Plan is to start and end in Denver. There's time for you Brits to arrange a journey!

Looks good but unfortunately a long swim from here.

No need for a long swim! Just tell Ernest that he has a real adventure waiting for him.

I just looked and it is only about 500 or 600 extra miles to swim from say London, than to walk to New England from Tucson. It has to to with ability to move in a straight line.

It is much cheaper to fly and rent a car, than drive or float your own boat all the way, even if you split the fuel. It would be interesting to take Ernest up the Hudson River.

Ernest is about the size of one of those larger shipping containers.   A container ship could probably have Ernest set on top of a stack of Containers and then off loaded on the Hudson for a modest fee.  How much of the Erie Canal is still navigable?   From the Hudson I'm pretty sure you can get all the way to Florida without going out on the open ocean.  Might be a good way to spend a summer.
