A January Day

The day was warm, with days of cold and dreariness falling away.  The Sun was high and more in the south so that it bathed my body completely as I walked. My summer tan has long faded but this January day held the promise of a warm spring and gaining that glow back. Walking in the woods much of the year presents the challenges of spider webs, flies, and other bugs, but a January walk on a warm winter day has none of those issues. The native grasses are tall enough in some areas to reach the bottom of my butt and tickle me as I walk through them. This walk created in me a desire and lust for my wife. Who would have thought the woods could bring on an erection in an old guy.  I love being in nature and appreciating what God has created in both the world and me.

Weather, Cancer, Rumblings

January in central Texas. You have to love the constant change of weather. Monday and Tuesday were beautiful days with temps warming to over 70 and then rain and cold for the foreseeable future. Two days of being in the nude hiking around the property and washing vehicles enjoying the light wind tickling the hairs on my body. I guess we have to have bad days to make us appreciate the good days.

I have a friend who is dying and will probably not live through this week. I just lost another friend a couple of weeks ago. My friend who is dying has cancer. She has fought it for many years. I know she did not want to die this way. None of us want to waste away to a disease; we want to be healthy right up to the end and then die and at a very old age. Cancer sucks.

I had cancer over a dozen years ago. Every year the doctor says I am in remission, never that I am cured. This must mean that it still is rumbling around inside me. I want it the hell out; GET OUT NOW! No one tells you how to do that, instead they tell you how to keep it hanging over your head so you can worry, pray, read, study about something that may or may not exist in you. I went this week to be told come back in a year and we will probe and push and test your body one more time to scare you until we tell you are ok again.  The oncologists need to figure out a better way.

Please pray for all those who have cancer, for those researching cures. Remission is good, cure is better.

A Race in the Nude

A Race in the Nude

Part of my goals for this year is to run several 5K races. At least two of these are races run at nudist sites and therefore run in the nude. I ran one at Star Ranch in McDade (http://www.starranch.net/) a couple of years ago. The goal is not to run fast or win, but to have a great time and enjoy being with others naked enjoying the out of doors.

The race is a good way to introduce yourself to nudist camps if you have never been.  I plan to be at Star Ranch on April 11, 2015. Come join. It is fun.

Here is what I wrote 2 years ago after running the race: "Today I ran my first race ever in the nude! That was not such a big deal but hanging around and not being too self-concious was. “Is my dick smaller than most? what are the women thinking about me. Did I stare at her boobs too long? That guy is huge!!”

Amazing what we put ourselves through."

Why be Nude

Why be Nude

• Less clothes to wash
• Set you’re A/C higher, lower bills
• Do not have to figure out what to wear when you wake up
• Your sexy parts are always handy
• You use your whole body as a touch organ and sense more.
• Your feet are not bound up in clothes when you go to the bathroom
• The air moving around you feels great.
• No tan lines
• Clothes are uncomfortable, tight, etc. Naked is free.
• Your sexy mood is obvious.
• Swimming nude is awesome.
• God created me this way.

How I Started Hiking Nude

How I Started Hiking Nude

A couple of years ago, my wife and I were hanging around our place in the country. I practice the five Tibetan Rituals of Rejuvenation almost every day and usually in the nude out of doors. I also enjoy hiking on our wooded place and the trails that I have made throughout. I wondered if I could hike the trails unclothed and shared the the thought with my wife. So the first hike kind of turned into a dare. She went with me, fully clothed, and me naked except for shoes and a hat. 

Wow! I never expected the enjoyment and peace and lightness that this first hike brought, in between of course, the momentary frights of what if someone sees me, what if I run into someone, etc. Over time, those thoughts have disappeared as I realize that the property is mine, it is private, and if some body comes up, I will invite them to join me now whether they are clothed or not. What has not disappeared is the joy of hiking with the wind tickling the hair on my body, the sun warming me as the shade cools me as I pass through the beautiful God given forest. Now, I hike alone 99% of the time, but not really for it has turned into my prayer time. I speak often with my God and share my joys, concerns and revel in the peace that passes all understanding. 

I urge you to find a private place to be nude in the woods and make it a spiritual experience. We were born naked and we go out of this life with nothing as well. The Good Lord wants to hear from you and he is a lot easier to reach when you are naked in his house. 

The morning, feeling trapped and burdened in the news

Three cups of coffee and a boring cereal I choose

The early morning tasks are hard I find

The private trails beckon leaving civilization behind.



The gate cannot fast enough open wide

As into the woods and trails I slide,

Leaving clothes, keys, and cares in a pile,

Needing to wander, walk, and talk to God a while.



Carrying lust and shame and sin and need

In his natural world on His love to feed,

With prayer and steps and a little time

The world seems brighter and the sun does shine.



The cleansing walk in the woods has the desired effect

An hour or so of wind, sun and warmth on my body and neck

I am now loving and feeling in God’s sanctuary

So all life’s burdens my soul can carry!

Thanks for reading my blog. I live in Bastrop County in central Texas and love to hike nude as often as possible.  My friends do not know this about me although they are aware of my proclivity for shedding clothes at home.

I am a native Texan, male, born in 1947.  I hike nude on my personal property several times a week when weather permits. My wife hikes with me, but she chooses to stay clothed. My property is private and in several years of hiking I have never encountered any other people.

I will share more about me in future blogs.
