Absolute Naturists Clothing at Nudist Clubs... Is there a problem?
Sunluvr60 Posted: May 12, 2013	Just this past December, we were at a C/O resort here in FL. During the after dinner dance in the restaurant, of the 30-40 guest remaining for the dance, my wife and I were the only ones nude. I was pretty disappointed that so many would chose to spend time at an clothing optional resort and chose to remained clothed.
Florida Nudists Key West and Fantasy Fest
Sunluvr60 Posted: May 12, 2013	On our Honeymoon Cruise last month, we stopped for the day in Key West. While enjoying a Pub Crawl tour sponsored by the ship, my wife spied the sign for the Garden of Eden C/O bar. As soon as we finished our pub crawl we headed straight there. She was pleasantly surprised that there were more nude women than men when we got there (she's still new to this and was worried she'd be the only one). We stayed for a few beers and chatted with another couple. The age range was 40-60, but a group of upper 20 year old couples came in to check it out, stayed for a drink, stayed clothed, then left. We would like go back for Fantasy Fest.
Absolute Naturists Tips & Ideas for Nude Friendly & Comfortable Living Homes
Sunluvr60 Posted: Mar 25, 2013	We purchased a home this past summer. One of the first things we did was to buy a pool table. We have plans to fence in the back yard. Put in some trees along the fence line for privacy from a couple of two story homes near ours. We are planning to put in a horseshoe pit and hopefully a hot tub in the near future.
Nudist Individuals Advice as Individuals
Sunluvr60 Posted: Mar 20, 2013	When I joined NCH a few years ago, I really didn't have expectations. Except to maintain a few friendships from CA when I moved to Florida. I knew Brian from when I was a member of a non landed club he ran in southern California in 2001. I was a member of that group for about 3 years. When I saw the link on the AANR site for NCH, I decided to join. The discussions on here have been entertaining and informative. I enjoy reading about the experiences of others. Especially those experiencing nude recreation for the first time. I've been enjoying nude recreation since 1977, but my soon to be bride was a first timer about two years ago. That was a pretty traumatic experience, but she has since really come to enjoy it. I hope others on here can learn from the experience of others. And come to enjoy nude recreation without the rude, negative judgement of those less informed.
Playalinda Beach Plan a PlayaLinda get together?
Sunluvr60 Posted: Feb 24, 2013	We had wanted to come out, but we are so far behind on our wedding planning. We ended up taking her daughters shopping for the bridesmaids dresses and just trying to get back on pace for our April wedding. Believe me when I say that dress shopping is NOT ever on my list of things to do, especially when an opportunity for some relaxing beach time is available. Hopefully next time.

Nude Sailors "Like a Drunkin' Sailor"
Sunluvr60 Posted: Jan 6, 2013	One of my first exposures to a Sailor Bar was the Fleet Club outside the Navy Base in Yokosuka Japan. I don't remember the exact name, but it had a bar for everyone.... rock, country, disco..(yes, disco, it was 1978). The bar was gone the last time I went to Yokosuka in 1991, but I believe they have new bar on base at the gate, but "back in the day", it was off base, across the street and to the right. After that, it would be most any bar on Magsaysay in Olongapo City. Oh man, what a misspent youth!!! Loved every minute of it!!!

Conservative Naturists ASSAULT ON THE 2nd AMMENDMENT
Sunluvr60 Posted: Dec 21, 2012	I can't believe we keep reelecting the same group of idiots. The president should get one 6 year term. The money they waste on reelections is criminal. These senators that spend 20 years in office are worse than the welfare junkies they are wasting my hard earned money on. That just my humble opinion.
Florida Nudists Cypress Cove in December
Sunluvr60 Posted: Dec 17, 2012	Thanks!! My g/f was uncomfortable the first couple times we went and saw so many clothed nudist. But she's gotten over it. We have no problem being the only nudist in the place.
Florida Nudists Cypress Cove in December
Sunluvr60 Posted: Dec 16, 2012	So I brought my g/f to Cypress Cove for her birthday weekend. We had a great time as usual. I proposed to her by the pool on Saturday and enjoyed just hanging out. There was a DJ dance at Lakeside Restaurant, the only disappointing part was we were the only nude couple there. There were one or two others nude but they left early. She got called up to the dance floor and the crowd sang Happy Birthday. Then we were both called up for congratulations and relate how I "popped the question". Overall it was a great time, just a little disappointed in the lack of nudist at a nudist resort
Nudist Individuals Nudity as a "right".
Sunluvr60 Posted: Dec 7, 2012	Well said Lacey, well said. I should be able to do whatever I want in my own backyard, provided it's fenced and relatively private. If you peek over the fence, see us nude and that offends you, that's your problem. If I wander out front to get the mail or bring in the trash can, then I'm infringing on your rights. Makes perfect sense to me.
Nudist Individuals Attitudes
Sunluvr60 Posted: Dec 4, 2012	It's been a long time since I've visited the chat room. It seemed to always be dominated by the same group of friends, 4 or 5 people who had their own conversation going. Trying to join the conversation wasn't always easy. You were either ignored by the "main" group and tried to have a conversation with someone else in between their chat. But like I said it's been a few years since I've even visited.
Nudist Individuals Ask a woman
Sunluvr60 Posted: Nov 30, 2012	I think my g/f's intuition was probably right on where this particular woman was involved. In this case she acted as though my g/f wasn't even there, however, she wasn't being overly flirtatious. My g/f has more guy friends than girl friends. She too has been mistaken for being flirtatious, when in fact she was only being friendly. We've met many married and single women since she's been going to Cypress with me. Mostly it's been pretty positive. There's always that one overly intoxicated individual, male or female who just don't get it. But we carry on and just enjoy our time there when we can.
Nudist Individuals Ask a woman
Sunluvr60 Posted: Nov 30, 2012	My girlfriend of two and half years and I had been together about 7 months when I told her about being a nudist. Initially she thought it had something to do with sex parties. I showed her an AANR book that listed all the affiliated clubs by state. We talked for hours that first night. It was about 3 weeks later that she agreed to go to Cypress Cove to see if it was something she could do. We arrived in the early evening of a Friday night, took the usual first timers tour (clothed). When we got back to our car to undress, she started crying. I offered to leave, talk some more and try again another day, if she wanted. She said that if she left now, she might not ever try it again. We wondered around the grounds (nude, although she kept her towel strategically placed) for about 20 minutes until she felt comfortable enough to venture to the pool area. It wasn't too crowded, less than a dozen people. We sat in the hot tub for a bit, she relaxed. She even carried on a conversation with a guy who was in the hot tub when we got there. A woman joined in, my g/f thought the woman was only there to chat up the guys. She asked me a few questions, she asked the other guys a few questions, but totally ignored my g/f. We stayed for a couple of hours, and returned the next day to see if she could do this in daylight with more people around. She was comfortable and relaxed ( a couple of drinks probably helped). We got in the pool, talked to other people (men and women). She has since been back to Cypress many times. She is always looking for when something is going on, such has Parrothead weekend to go back. We are planning to go for her birthday weekend next month. She talks about wanting to visit other clubs when we travel to visit family and friends in CA and VA. She would also like to visit a nude beach. We met a couple who belong to a local non landed club near us, who invited us to look into joining. My g/f says that she didn't think she would be comfortable going to a stranger's home and hanging out nude. Mostly, she has really taken to being a nudist pretty well. We recently bought a home with a large backyard that she wants to fence off and make as private as possible so that we can enjoy it in the buff when we can't make it down to Cypress. I guess I got pretty lucky this time.

Sunluvr60 Posted: Nov 26, 2012	I just bought a new home this past summer. One of the first things on my list while I'm landscaping the front yard is to install a flagpole. A friend has offered to help set up the wiring for a light. So very soon my colors will be flying as they should be.

Conservative Naturists IN HIS OWN WORDS …
Sunluvr60 Posted: Oct 25, 2012	Sounds like Hitler and the Nazi Party, fire up the people!! God forbid we end up with four more years of the Obama Circus, but if we do, he'll find some one else to blame his leadership shortcomings on. People like that always do.

Conservative Naturists debate pounding
Sunluvr60 Posted: Oct 4, 2012	I just hope Romney doesn't take this as "I've got this election wrapped up" and stop pushing his points and ease up on this sorry excuse for a POTUS. Romney needs to hit the campaign trail harder than ever.

ASA Days SWALLOWS SUN ISLAND
Sunluvr60 Posted: Aug 20, 2012	I was lucky enough to be able to spend four days at Swallows in August 2002. It was the last year before I retired from the Navy so, for my birthday, I decided to load up the RV and spend a long weekend out there. It was only 20 miles or so from where I lived in San Diego. The people I met were very friendly; I had a great time. I accidentally locked my self out of the RV and had to climb through an open window. I drove by there the next year after the fires, it was very sad. Much of east and northern San Diego County was devastated by the fire in 2003.
Absolute Naturists Nude/clothed interaction
Sunluvr60 Posted: Jul 23, 2012	It been just over a year since I took my g/f to her first nudist club, which was Cypress Cove. We have since gone a few times and she's gotten pretty comfortable with it. When we went to the have dinner we walked in and we were the only nude people in the place. Granted most were only partially dressed, but none the less, it was very unsettling for her to be totally nude and walk in and everyone, especially the other women were wearing coverups, some were fully clothed. Since then whenever we have dinner there she will wear a coverup, but I'll still go nude, it's why we go to nudist clubs, right?

Absolute Naturists Summer Fun
Sunluvr60 Posted: Jul 9, 2012	Last month my g/f and I were on a cross country road trip returning to Florida from CA. We were able to stop for a few hours at Rock Haven Lodge in TN. Very friendly folks there, we were invited to stay for a party they were having that evening, sadly we had to get back on the road. But next summer we hope to add a few more clubs to our road trip. She wants to visit Glen Eden and I want to visit Laguna Del Sol.
Absolute Naturists Slow Dancing Nude
Sunluvr60 Posted: Apr 24, 2012	My g/f and I have slow danced many times at Cypress Cove over the past year, she's new to nudism, and we've had no issues. Over the years I've had an opportunity to dance with women I had just met at other clubs and nothing came up that needed to be explained, apologized for or embarrassed about. Just relax and enjoy the music.

Sunluvr60 Posted: Jan 3, 2012	In 2002, I spent about a week at Glen Eden in my RV just kicking back, meeting new people, read a couple of books, played water volleyball, danced and partied a little. It was a great time!!!
Absolute Naturists Your Best Christmas Memories... What are they?
Sunluvr60 Posted: Dec 22, 2011	One of my fondest Christmas memories was in 1995, I returned from a six month Navy deployment to have my new wife (now ex) our 3 kids, (my 2 kids from my 1st marriage rode the ship with me on the last night), my sister and her 2 kids, my niece, her husband and my wife's parents all on the pier when the ship pulled in 2 days before Christmas. That was the only time in my 24 year Navy career to have family at the pier when I returned from deployment. It was pretty sweet. It made for a pretty great Christmas and a great homecoming. Merry Christmas everyone

Sunluvr60 Posted: Jun 23, 2011	How many people is one likely to find at Playalinda on a Sunday afternoon? My g/f and I were thinking of driving down, but were wondering how good a crowd we'd find there on a Sunday. She's never been to a nude beach before, so there are a few concerns. Thanks... also, how exactly do you get there off I-95 coming from Jacksonville? I was told just take CR-406, but that looks like it forks at one point before you get to the coast... any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks
Absolute Naturists Children Raised As Nudist... Choice?
Sunluvr60 Posted: Jun 8, 2011	I would think that if a child is raised a nudist, eventually they'd get to an age where they could choose to continue to be nudist or choose not to be nudist. Same as someone raised in a certain religion, eventually they'll get to where they can choose in which direction they want their life to go. No one in my family is a nudist, but I discovered nudism at age 16 and have chosen to be a nudist.

Absolute Naturists Advertising Social Nudity
Sunluvr60 Posted: Jun 5, 2011	Years ago I owned a class A motor home, I would, still do, occasionally pick up the RV magazine, Trailer Life and Camping Life Magazines. Any reason AANR or even individual nudist clubs couldn't advertise in those publications? They all have a classified section where other campgrounds advertise. I seem to remember about 10 years ago one of the Southern California nudist clubs ran a ad in the Sunday Travel section of the San Diego Union Tribune. It's a start, right?

Sunluvr60 Posted: Jun 5, 2011	How does one get to Playalinda from Jacksonville??? My g/f and I were in CA last week and she wanted to check out a nude beach there, but time, circumstances and the weather were not in our favor. She's new to nudism, so we're still working on her comfort level, but we've visited Cypress Cove, Lake Como and Sunny Sands all the the last two months and she's doing really well. I think she'd enjoy the beach, but she has concerns about possibly being cited, issues with those who just go to "check out the naked people". Any insight would be appreciated.... thanks!!

Blacks Beach Hot Days Coming
Sunluvr60 Posted: May 12, 2011	I miss the convenience of Blacks Beach. I used to live in the Tierrasanta area off I-15. Just about 15 minutes to the Gliderport and then a quick hike down the path to the beach. When I moved to Florida I wrongly believed there'd be nude beaches everywhere. Sadly the closest is nearly 2 hours away. I try to get to my friendly neighborhood nudist club, but even that is over 90 miles away.
Nudist Individuals Sometimes it really sucks to be a single male nudist
Sunluvr60 Posted: Apr 11, 2011	I started going to nude beaches in 1977 when I was 16, I joined AANR in 2001 and of the 6 nudist clubs I've visited in Calif, Oregon and Florida and one non-landed club I was a member of from 2001 to 2005, I never encountered a problem being a single male. I was never denied access to the clubs. I suppose I've been fortunate in that respect. I am currently in a relationship of about 7 months, I took her to her first nudist club this past weekend. She commented on the large male to female ratio right away, but also noted that the loudest people were a couple of mid 30 something year old females who had been drinking quite a bit and being a little flirtation in the pool. It's a bad rap for the single guys when you see behavior like that going on. Especially when there were a couple of 6 or 7 yr old girls in the same pool.

Absolute Naturists Nudist Women
Sunluvr60 Posted: Mar 22, 2011	This past weekend I sat down with my girlfriend of about 6 months and explained to her about being a nudist. She didn't handle it so well at first. Her first reaction was that it was about sex parties. Why do people go there first?? We talked a bit and I assured that it isn't about sex. However she is certain that she doesn't feel she can participate. She is convinced that if she can't, it will cause our relationship to end. After much assurance and then more assurance that that wouldn't be the case. She offered to go to a resort with me on the condition that at no time I leave her side. Also, apparently I can't take her to the resort I usually go to because she is concerned we'll run into a woman I dated briefly last year who also goes to the same resort. I'm kind of at a loss on how else to handle this situation. While I appreciate her willingness to try, I've told her repeatedly that she does have to.
Absolute Naturists Nude Cruises
Sunluvr60 Posted: Mar 12, 2011	I would love to go on a nude cruise... it's certainly on the "bucket list"... but I'd prefer one with only 200 to 300 people as opposed to 2000 to 3000, it just seems like it'd be more fun with a smaller guest list.
Single Nudists Unite! What are your experiences from going solo?
Sunluvr60 Posted: Jan 24, 2011	For about 10 years I've had the opportunity to spend some quality time at nudist resorts in California, Florida and Oregon and have never had a negative experience being a single guy. I don't go with the intention or expectation of meeting someone. My visits are my stress relief. I have recently met someone (she isn't a nudist), so I find myself having a little trouble broaching the subject with her. All in good time.... when it starts to warm up again... then we'll "jump off that bridge"

Military Veterans and Active Duty Person US Navy
Sunluvr60 Posted: Apr 10, 2010	I enlisted in '78 right out of high school, I was lucky in that I got to do my Recruit Training in San Diego, in the summer (if you can call going to boot camp lucky). I served on USS Midway, was a Plankowner on USS Acadia, served on USS Copeland, USS Sylvania, USS Mt Vernon and USS Cleveland. Various shore assignments on Adak, Alaska, the SF bay area and a couple of recruiting tours. I retired in 2003 and still haven't been able to stay in on place for more than a couple of years. I've been in Florida for 3 years, that's the longest I've lived in one place since I left home at 17. I loved going to sea and visiting places around the world. I keep meaning to go on a cruise and see if they'll let me conn the boat for a while.... maybe do some leapfrogs with a 900 ft cruise ship??
Absolute Naturists Finding A Nudist Mate
Sunluvr60 Posted: Mar 11, 2010	If I'm just casual dating, which seems to be the way of life these days, I usually don't bring up the nudist stuff. So far I haven't met anyone at a nudist club, but I also haven't really been looking. I did take a girlfriend to Black's Beach a few years back. She was a little nervous, it didn't help when some random guy just pulled up and started a conversation that really made my girlfriend very uncomfortable. That pretty much ended any hope of her wanting to visit a nudist club. But should someone come along who takes my breath away, we will have an open and honest conversation about nudism and just go from there.

Absolute Naturists Nudist Women
Sunluvr60 Posted: Mar 9, 2010	I think the reason for the lob sided ratio of women to men is something that can be found almost any where in our society, granted more so in the nudist world. It's like women who enjoy going to a bars or night clubs, they know they are going to receive a lot of attention, so they go in groups (safety in numbers, 1st rule of thumb from mom and dad). I think the same applies to women who are interested or curious about the nudist way of life. Only they will be at their most vulnerable. Therefore it's many times more difficult for one to find comfort in numbers. Fear of the unknown, what's going to happen when you're one of a handful of women surrounded by 3 or 4 or 10 times as many men... naked??? We guys like to think we walk the talk or what ever, but reverse the roles for minute. You're at your favorite nudist resort, you walk into the pool/spa area and every lounger and chair/table is occupied by a woman. You are the only guy for as far as the eye can see. Now we can all say we'd pop out our chests, suck in that beer gut and think we are "it".... but in reality, you'll have that moment of pause as every set of eyes becomes trained on you, even if for just a second. For that second, you'll be looking around for your buddy, your "wing-man". I can't even begin to imagine how women must feel, whether it's the pool area at her favorite nudist club, a night club on Saturday night, or just the grocery store. I have two daughters, I suddenly became aware of the attention of men every where we went when they became teenagers. And I didn't like it at all, not one bit. I think that an afternoon, a 3-4 hour block of time, once a month or so setting aside time for just the ladies, for those that are experiencing it for the first time, friends of those that are already enjoying our way of life. Hold group discussions and clinics, get all the concerns and fears out there and see how things go. But this is just my humble opinion
Absolute Naturists Are Clothing Optional Clubs/Resorts Hurting Nudists?
Sunluvr60 Posted: Mar 8, 2010	Excellent argument!!! Well put, I couldn't agree more.
Absolute Naturists Are Clothing Optional Clubs/Resorts Hurting Nudists?
Sunluvr60 Posted: Mar 7, 2010	Of the clubs/resorts I've had the pleasure to visit, everyone I encountered was friendly and inviting. I would think that if someone were interested or curious enough to visit a social nudist environment, but could not reach a comfort level from the support of the members around them in the first 20-30 minutes to relax enough to undress and be part of the experience. Then perhaps their concerns and issues are best addressed by someone in a more professional capacity. But that's just my humble opinion.
Golf I have always wanted to beat...
Sunluvr60 Posted: Mar 7, 2010	My father loved golf. I wish I had gotten into it sooner than I did so that I could have played with him. We got to go out and play together once in 1986, his health deteriorated shortly after and he never got to play again. I'm glad though that we had that one time. He passed away in 2001, but whenever I play I always feel a little closer to him. One of my sons started playing recently, I make sure that we get out together every chance we get.
Golf Have you ever golfed in the nude? Share your experience.
Sunluvr60 Posted: Mar 7, 2010	I've gone to Sunny Sands Resort in Pierson, FL, they've got a little chip-n-putt course, I haven't had an opportunity to play it though. The one time I was going to, I hit an arrant ball that came back and hit me right in the shin. It's funny now, but at the time I thought I broke something. I'm just waiting for a little warmer weather to head back down and give it another shot.
Absolute Naturists Clothing Optional
Sunluvr60 Posted: Mar 6, 2010	Clothing optional is such a difficult topic to really be able to have set rules for. Of the half dozen clubs I've had the opportunity to visit, I never really paid attention to whether it was clothing optional or always nude. The office staff was usually clothed, as well as the food preparers, which is something I support whether it's a requirement or not. When I had my RV, I'd cover up when I was cooking, it just seemed to make sense for sanitation reasons. It always seemed pretty even to me in the diners and bars, folks seemed equally covered (not clothed) and nude. Whenever I'd go in to have lunch or a drink, I stay nude, but it didn't bother me if the people next to me chose to put on a t-shirt or a wrap. It seems just as often that a guy might don a shirt while his wife stayed nude and vice versa. I suppose it would concern me more if you saw large crowds walking around fully clothed. Or in the pool and spa areas in bathing suits. Then I think I might have an issue with that scenario.
RV'ing/Camping Nudists Why did you buy your R/V?
Sunluvr60 Posted: Mar 5, 2010	In 2000, I bought a '95 32ft class A Coachman Catalina, at the time is was to be my residence as I was going through a divorce and didn't want to move into an apartment. I think it depends on what you plan to use it for. I plan to purchase a 32-34ft 5th wheel in the near future. I plan to be a full-timer, I'm single my kids are grown. My reason for leaning toward the 5th wheel rather than another class A, I didn't like that anytime work needed to be done on my rig, even basic maintenance, I had to take in my entire "home" I feel that with a 5th wheel, I can park it at my friendly neighborhood nudist resort, take the truck in for what ever is needed and still have a "home" to go to. Also, I like the variety of floor plans I've seen recently at RV shows. My Coachman had a Ford 460 and got about 7-8 mpg. It struggled getting up over high mountain grades. I'm thinking a diesel truck will have a little more power getting up over those hills.
Absolute Naturists Home Nudists: Walking the Talk
Sunluvr60 Posted: Mar 4, 2010	Perhaps the self proclaimed "home nudist" might benefit from hosting a home get together with others in their area. Start with a small group of people they are comfortable with and see how things go. For those who say their spouses/significant others aren't into the nudist way of life, this might be a good opportunity to get them involved. If they see how comfortable others are, that may be just the icebreaker needed to get them out of their shell. Keep the gathering small with an equal ratio of men to women. You never know, you could end up starting your own non landed club.
Absolute Naturists Clothing Optional
Sunluvr60 Posted: Feb 22, 2010	That's awesome. My goal is to invest in an RV and go from club to club, stay for weeks at a time. But just keep on moving.
Absolute Naturists What sport would you most like to play while nude?
Sunluvr60 Posted: Feb 21, 2010	Roller skating and bowling. When I lived in San Diego a few years ago I belonged to a non landed club there, Somehow I always managed to miss those events. I think we had an issue getting a bowling alley, but I remember a skating event that I missed because I had to be out of town that particular weekend. Play golf, billiards... bad knees prevent my from enjoying things like basketball, volleyball (except water volleyball). We use to play frisbee a lot when I was younger, that is always fun if it doesn't require too much running around.
Just for fun Your "nudiform" (nude uniform)
Sunluvr60 Posted: Feb 21, 2010	If I'm just around the house, I'll wear socks or house slippers. I'm not normally a hat person, but if I'm poolside reading, I'll wear a ball cap. Otherwise it's just sunglasses and flip flops and of course sunscreen. (Say, does anyone remember when flip flops used to be called thongs?? I spent a summer in Hawaii in the mid 70's and everyone called them thongs. I slipped up a couple of years ago and asked if anyone has seen my thongs... as you can imagine I got a few interesting sideways glances)
Absolute Naturists What brought you here?
Sunluvr60 Posted: Feb 20, 2010	I liked the variety of topics. I like that you have a nice mix of folks here.
Florida Nudists Welcome all new members
Sunluvr60 Posted: Feb 20, 2010	Hello, I'm Vince. I just wanted to introduce myself to the group. I've been in FL for 3 years. I'm a west coast transplant. So far I've only been to Sunny Sands Resort. The folks there are great, very friendly and welcoming to the new guy in town. I've read older postings of issues with law enforcement at Playalinda, so I've been hesitate to head down there or to Apollo beach. What is the latest regarding the nude beach sections of those beaches? It's kind of a long drive just to get a citation for some else's shortsightedness.
RV'ing/Camping Nudists New Members: Please introduce yourselves here
Sunluvr60 Posted: Feb 20, 2010	Hello, I'm Vince, currently living in NE Florida. Once upon a time (2000-2004), in a land far, far away (Oregon & Calif) I had a 1995 32ft Class A Coachman Catalina. She was awesome. I took her to Glen Eden and Swallows Sun Island in Southern Cal. Camped at San Onofre. Sadly, she became a casualty of my retirement from the Navy in 2003. I managed to hold on to her for about a year, but when the cost got overwhelming, I had to let her go. But one day soon, I'll be out there again. I go back and forth between a truck/5th wheel combo or another class A. If I go class A again, I'm leaning toward a diesel pusher. If anyone has any "pro/con" pointers between 5th wheels and diesels, I'm open to the experiences of others. I like to get as much information as I can before making decisions like this. There is no better info than from those who have been there and done that, right? Thanks
Just for fun Most embarrassing moment, nude or otherwise
Sunluvr60 Posted: Feb 9, 2010	At the end of my senior year of high school, 1978, my g/f and I decided not to participate in the school's organized "Ditch Day" festivities at one of the state beaches where we lived (near Santa Barbara, CA) Any way, we decided to head to a much more secluded beach for a little alone time, I was leaving for basic training right after graduation. My sister fixed us up with 2 bottles of Boone's Farm Mellow Days wine, remember that stuff?? There were a few old guys fishing, but it was a long stretch of beach, so we just looked for some place where we could have a little privacy. We were running up and down the beach naked, playing frisbee, swimming, eventually one thing lead to another and we found what we thought was a secluded area over the dunes out of sight of the beach. We forgot that we were only about 40 or 50 feet from a railroad track (we had to cross the tracks to get to the beach). Just as things were getting steamy, the 12:01 Amtrak comes roaring by... the whole train got a perfect view of our "Afternoon Delight" moment. It startled us, but there was no place to hide, so we just waved!! She was a good sport, we laughed about it with friends days later at my going away party.
Absolute Naturists Nude In Public
Sunluvr60 Posted: Jan 24, 2010	About 5 years ago I was boating with one of my sisters and her family on the Columbia River in Portland, OR. They had one of those intertubes that you pulled behind a boat, large enough for two adults to ride. So my daughter and I were on it and getting whipped around all over the river. We hit a wake and I was hanging off the edge of the tube. Well the speed of the boat and the pull of the water took my shorts down to my ankles. I let go with one hand to try to pull them up and ended up getting tossed altogether. I skipped across the water like a stone and ended up losing the shorts completely. I took a few minutes of swimming around to find them. Everyone on the boat and on the shore had a great laugh at me trying to put them on and tread water at the same time.
Just for fun What do you want to be when you grow up?
Sunluvr60 Posted: Jan 24, 2010	When I was 5 or 6 years old my dad used to say that I told everyone that I wanted to be a pirate when I grow up... so when I was 17 I joined the Navy (and then stayed for 24 years)
Military Veterans and Active Duty Person Favorite Liberty Port
Sunluvr60 Posted: Jan 24, 2010	Subic is up near the top to be sure. I went many times in the late '70's on USS Midway. Along with Perth, Australia. But my all time favorite was Palma Spain, we hit that port a few times in '88 and '89 on USS Sylvania.
Military Veterans and Active Duty Person Any Shellback's
Sunluvr60 Posted: Jan 15, 2010	I crossed the line 5 times, 3 times on USS MIDWAY (CV-41) in 1979 and 1980 and once each on USS COPELAND (FFG-25) in 1991 AND USS MT VERNON (LSD-39) in 1995.... that tradition sure did changer over the years, I wonder what it's like now with mixed gender crews on so many ships.
