Fortunately for me, my wife and I were able to purchase a very private parcel of land in NW Pa., USA. Our house is situated on the South East corner of 20 acres, and surrounded by almost 15,000 acres of State Game lands. The only open area is to the South where there is a 100 yard window open to far reaching farm fields. The closest neighbors are several hundred yards away and until recently could not see our property from theirs. A couple years ago the electric company came and cleared a right-of-way for the lines that allows a very narrow window where the neighbors can see a portion of our yard. The neighbor lady often walks her dog in the wooded area behind our house and crosses the open area to the South to get there. Occasionally her husband will join her but has trouble walking very far due to injuries from an auto accident. Over the years I've been careful to be behind the house when I see her / them going by, but one day while I was at my vehicle, the husband came out of the woods and up through my yard to bring me some wild mushrooms they'd found (we're both mushroomers). So here he is, on one side of my truck, and I'm on the other naked.....busted. After thanking him for the mushrooms, I asked him if they were offended or opposed to nudity. He was a little taken aback by the question at first, but answered that no they weren't offended and used to occasionally participate in their younger years. I explained that I am a Naturist and spend a lot of time naked in the summer months, and that I'd bought this property more for it's privacy than the house itself, so if they continued to pass by, they were going to see me sooner or later. He replied that it would not be an issue with them, so go ahead. Just goes to show that a little conversation can be productive to our lifestyle.
