[pct-l] Hike Naked Day

[Guthrie Nutter]

Just can't resist smiling and chiming in on this one. 

I know I may be potentially implicating myself on this one but can't really let the nudie slamming without a different tack.  Sorry, Mom. 

Had the reporter put a strapping, endowed dude all pumped up or a curvaceous Venus with a sweet front rack - would the reactions be different?*chuckle*

Sorry to hear it was a "floppy" situation (pun intended) for some, but isn't the PCT is the pursuit of the spirit of adventure?  Some have found it to be a great release from constriction. 

Granted, sunburn is a valid concern, and the thought of slathering acres and acres of flesh is cumbersome.  Bugs, too. 

Like all things, there's always a preference.  Peas or carrots?  Apples or oranges?  Taste it all, then choose. 

To each, his own...
