If free range is defined as any naturism that is not factory farmed, set on a reservation, or very organized and safe, then any place and any thing I do is favored by being naked. I’m nude most of the time, the exception being in public, where it is not approved of, or unlawful with too much risk of arrest. Anything that I do without clothes is augmented, be it driving, any mundane task, gardening, etc. To be nude is to open doors of awareness.
My favorite naturist spots are generally anyplace with water. We live in the southwestern United States, in Arizona, and water is very attractive for desert rats. I first got into naturism in water. The pools and hot springs to be had are usually after a hike and somewhat remote. If not there are too many people around, like many rivers and lakes. With this in mind, places where we have the least likelihood of others making problems. I would refer to these spots as “wide open spaces.” I go to extremes and 4x4 driving to get away. I love it when I can find myself in a huge paradise and know that it is all to myself and water then is the bonus.
I love mountain pools and falls, hot springs. Lake Powell, and farther reaches of Apache Lake are great with a boat. I’m experimenting with river rafts and kayaking to learn to get down protected rivers on two day trips without clothing, or much else.
Water aside, I love nature, and any new terrain and vegetation is attractive. My hiking has lots of stopping to smell the flowers, and photographing wonderment and smiles. I have had great fun searching for, “bagging” crested saguaros in my desert. The desert heat is much less harsh when nude. I enjoy looking for evidences of ancient Native American lifestyle, around here, these people were kindred naked naturist themselves. When the place has the energy, I meditate, just being, gratitude, and/or that spiritual something.
We are blessed with a variety of natural wonderment where I live, but I also know that there’s no place like home…nude.
