Thanks for the trip report, Duane. I'd definitely enjoy that venue for Free Range Naturism. My wife has a hard time with the heat, but, I find I enjoy being out naked when the temperature is 95-97F. Once it gets to be 101F or more, it even gets oppressive for me.
I usually wear keen sandals.
In the early years that my brother and I were doing our annual backpack trips in Colorado, I wore heavy leather water resistant boots and thick socks, carrying a 75 pound backpack up the mountains. When we'd stop and I'd take off my boots, my socks, feet, and inner boots would be soaking wet from accumulated perspiration from feet and ankles. This was the case even when the ambient temperature was in the 30F's and 40F's. It was very uncomfortable. Then in the later years, I bought leather Keen hiking sandals. I was very happy with dry, freer, feet. Even in the cold weather, my feet were warm in Keen sandals.
... it seems my free ranging will be on the water as the kayak has become the vehicle of choice to get to those spots that few people travel to or frequent.
A favorite naturist activity of ours is to take the kayaks out to the/a lake, load them with food/BEER, lounge chairs, umbrella, then kayak around to a secluded shore, setup day camp, and lounge about naked for the afternoon. When to the beach condoshare, we similarly go out on Christmas bay. There, we have found a shallow sand spoil bank about a quarter mile away from the launch area where we set up chairs and umbrella and spend the afternoon or evening, naked. The bank is sometimes exposed 2-3 inches above the water, or knee deep, depending on tides. But it has to be an unusual sight from a distance to see our setup, seemingly floating/standing on water.
Have fun, kayaking naked!
