OTV: We Blew Nekkid Hippies’ Minds

OrangeTV: I’ve been to People’s Park exactly once, about 15 years ago. I had rented a tux for a wedding the night before and my friend Grace had a fun idea. She got completely dressed up in a formal gown and went all the way glam with her hair and makeup and I wore my rented tux and we went to the nude beach dressed that way for a nice spring picnic. The double takes and stares we got from the crowd of naked hippies sunning and playing volleyball next to us were priceless. Complete comment below.

Question: My wife once encountered a small group of naked beach lovers when she rounded a rock on the Big Sur (Calif.) shoreline. I was spared the vision because I’d settled onto the beach nearby to read a book. Have you ever had a surprise encounter similar to my wife’s?

This is hardly news. People’s Park has hosted a nude beach since the 1960’s. It’s not a very well kept secret that men (most of them “straight” and married) go there to hook up with other men in the bushes. They do a bust like this every year at least twice. So far, in 40 years it hasn’t stopped the trolls from trolling in the bushes and the hippies from getting naked on the beach. I don’t imagine it will ever stop. Everyone who lives in Spokane and goes into Peoples Park knows exactly what they’re libel to run into there. So, I do kinda think it’s a waste of manpower to conduct these busts, or at the very least, it’s rather pointless.
