Don

I have lived a clothing optional life for 52 years, starting with skinny dipping in the lake I grew up on, to playing naked volleyball with my friends at Glen Eden. I used to live in Grand Junction, where I could be nude full time on my very private 35 acres, but I am now retired living in Ohio where I bought a house seven years ago on the opposite side of the ridge from Cedar Trails Nudist Resort. Yes, I can walk nude from my 21 acres and onto the resort property. I would love to meet people here in the Midwest or write with people in other areas who are true nudists/naturists. I love to hike, clothed and nude, love to go to the hot springs in Colorado and back in California, and always try to look for opportunities to be nude, whether that is driving in a remote area, or checking out a new CO spot.

True nudists or naturists who love to explore the wonderful world around us. Yes, I would like to meet that special lady who I could share this life with, but my belief is that a relationship, if it happens, should evolve naturally from a good solid friendship. Forgive me, but I must make an observation based on a pet peeve: Folks, unless you carry a killer pair of binoculars all day long to study wildlife, you are NOT a naturalist! Drop the "L" and refer to yourself as a naturist ... please!! You make the rest of us sound like uneducated red necks.

Hiking; hot springs; skinny dipping in pools, lakes, ponds, streams, rivers and oceans; finding hidden waterfalls; I am a voracious reader; hunting and shooting; nature watching (more than just birds, I own a killer pair of Swarovskis); chess; movies; home DVD's; Dining out; Dining in; Scuba Diving; Snorkeling; (real) skin diving (did that off Little Beach on Maui); To be honest, I could fill pages with my interests. Please respect the following: I am not homophobic. I have many friends here on TN and IRL who have chosen a homosexual lifestyle. I love and respect these folks. However, many men here on TN have contacted me who are either bisexual or homosexual who are obviously contacting me because they are looking for something sexual. All of their friends are men, with no women or couples, which tells me that they are not well rounded nudists who are seeking true friendship. If you fit this category, I respectfully ask that you not contact me. I am not interested in your sexual interest. Thank you.

Mostly classic Rock and Roll, Contemporary Christian, some instrumental. I will tolerate Country, but will shoot the stereo if cRAP comes on.

Too many to mention. Shawshank Redemption is probably my all time fav at this point... he overcame the odds and won. I loved Terminator Genesis because it was cleverly rewritten and showed Arnold with more range as an actor. I think Top Gun Maverick was a good sequel. Better than I had hoped.

The Lord, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagen, and the older I get, the more I realize how much of a hero my mother is.
