Most Outrageous Reaction to a Nude Person

Guess its best to stay OUT OF ARKANSAS. The Arkansas Times reported:

A 69-year-old Prairie Grove man was sentenced to six months in jail for indecent exposure in May after strolling nude onto his shrub-surrounded patio and being espied there by a sharp-eyed neighbor lady, who, according to testimony, had to do some major craning to spot something that offended her.

I find it amazing that the woman wasn't cited for voyeurism, since the article definitely implies that the man had a reasonable expectation of privacy.

But then, what can you expect from a state where its illegal to be nude in front of any other person except your spouse or a doctor? Actually, if I wrote this article in Arkansas, I would be guilty of a crime (they don't believe in free speech there, I guess) and could be put in jail for 6 months just for promoting nudism.

Talk about a backwater. Which reminds me of a joke about red-necks: Why can't they solve real crimes in Arkansas? There aren't any dental records and all the DNA matches.

Article on Nude Soaking in Idaho Springs Colorado

Examiner.com has an article about Indian Hot Springs in Idaho Springs, Colorado. Indian Hot Springs is just off I-70 about mid-way between a lot of ski resorts and metro Denver. Soaking in the caves is in the nude, but separated by gender (women's section and men's section). If you want to soak nude with someone of the opposite sex, you have to get a private indoor or outdoor tub.

A Nudist on TV 56 years ago

A pretty good episode of "What's My Line?" from 1953. For younger folks, this was a popular game show during the era of black and white television.

Skinny Dipping in 1934

Most of us never think of our parents or grandparents being as liberated as we are. We tend to think that nudism is a "new thing". But here is a video clip of Maureen O'Sullivan swimming naked with Johnny Weissmuller in Tarzan and His Mate. This movie was released in 1934.

Now, its possible that the woman is a double for Ms. O'Sullivan; I can't be sure. But it sure would be hard to make this movie and have Ms. O'Sullivan suddenly have a swim suit in the middle of the jungle when she was previously wearing her nightgown.

December 30, 2008 and 68 degrees at Mountain Air Ranch

Two days before the start of 2009 and the weather at Mountain Air Ranch was a pleasant 68 degrees and calm. Just two hours earlier, the winds had been howling at 50 miles per hour out of the west, so the downslope conditions caused a lot of warming. Around noon, the winds died down and, as you can see from the picture, the temperatures were very nice. Good hiking and plenty of sunshine to lay out in.

If you click on the picture, you will get a full size version where it is easy to see that the temperature was 68 degrees F and the relative humidity was only 14 percent.
