  It strikes me that, despite the laws, it will stil be socially acceptable to freehike in Vermont.

  [quote]Vermont legislature, possibly going to vote make it illegal to be nude in public, something to watch out for could affect future free hikes![/quote] So much for my bucket list item of backpacking the Long trail naked.

  Hey everyone. I am aware of the proposed bill, it is H.683, and I am keeping an eye on it. It was introduced 0n 1/14 and sent to the Judiciary Committee. There has been no movement on the bill in the last 2 1/2 months, so my instinct tells me I don't think there is enough interest in the bill and most likely will die in committee as a lot of bills due. I have been in touch with others who are involved with the AANR (American Association for Nude Recreation) as well as NACS (Naturist Action Committee) and their consensus is the same. I am signed up for email alerts should the bill advance and will let the group know if that happens. Happy Hiking!
