“This past spring we drove from Georgia to Ohio nude, only getting dressed for a short sight-seeing stop in Point Pleasant.  I usually wear a sarong on road trips for easy cover up.  And I've also found that, if you park strategically enough you don't have to put clothes on to pump gas.  The only attention we received on the road was from the occasional trucker honking at my wife.” – Michael Ingram Finley, https://www.facebook.com/groups/PromotingNudism

“I want to thank you for experience of running in the Bare Burro 5km last Sunday. Even though it was the toughest clothing optional course I have ever run, it was fun. The turnout was very good. More than most of the C/O races around the country. Only Washington State races have more and they have been around for over 20 years.” – Joe

“. . . it is never too cold to slide under the covers au naturel.” – https://campnatural.wordpress.com/2018/01/10/how-sleeping-naked-changed-my-life/

“Being a Naturist, for me at least is accepting who I am inside as well as outside.  So I don’t have a six pack and large biceps.  I know I can be healthier by shedding a few pounds around my waist.  That is something I am working on but in the meantime, I am who I am. . . I have been telling more and more of my friends and family of my activities with both groups and none of them bat an eye.  I have to say, if anyone has issues with it, then perhaps they were never truly my friends.” – Fabien, https://sparxx2u.wordpress.com/2016/03/09/when-naturism-and-textile-collides/

“Any form of nudity in American media is inevitably perverted . . . it’s an artificial product of our culture.  For whatever reason, nudity in any form is automatically deemed perverse or pornographic instead of, well, the natural state that it is. . . Trying to make nudity into the societal scourge that it is now is like trying to pervert blinking.  It’s simply a part of us; it’s not shameful and it’s a ridiculous thing to emphasize as degenerate.” - Andrea Chapin Ferris, https://clothesfreelife.com/2012/07/07/no-shame-in-nudity/

“Eventually I tried it [naked gardening] and it feels lovely to have the sun on your back and to feel the plants while you are working in the borders. . . If you don't try things in life you never know the answer, so we just did it. . . Naked gardening puts a smile on people's faces . . .” – Barbara Pollard, The Naked Gardener at Abby House, England
