If you’d like to participate in this national event at a place where you’re not likely to be arrested, 
check out the 2nd Annual Skin to the Wind Festival of Fun at Sun Meadow Resort July 9 to 12 near Worley, Idaho. A highlight this year will be an attempt to break the Guinness Book of World Records largest skinny dip ever in North America. The American Association for Nude Recreation is coordinating the record-setting event and the folks gathered at Sun Meadow will do their part Saturday July 11 at high noon. The public is invited to participate in this event nationwide. Rules require all participants to be completely nude to be counted/OrangeTV, Get Out! North Idaho. More here.
Question: Have you ever skinny dipped?

“Rules require all participants to be completely nude to be counted”
Hmmm, does one have to stand up to be counted? Better do the counting before the dip.

I prefer skinny dipping (or in my case, chunky dunking :D ) over swimming in a suit. I dry off faster then the suit does. Hate sitting around in a wet, cold suit :P

Well, no - I was the picture taker of four hearty female friends in their 50s and it was dark (high midnight). Pictures didn't take. I also was the towel holder. And we had an audience of about 20 boaters (why at midnight?) surrounding us. I think it was because we kept giggling and it carried across the lake and they all ventured out to see what the fuss was about. I think they were disappointed.

Too bad the folks at the Worley resort don't try to coordinate their event with the Canadian Bare Buns Run.
Might help 'em set the record.

99% of naked is bad. If you have the body and are willing to show it, then don't.
