| 386.1 | Can I go too?? | WILBRY::WASSERMAN | Deb Wasserman, DTN 264-1863 | Wed Aug 26 1992 13:21 | 16 |
| Wow, what a great trip!!! I'm envious!! Five whole weeks touring the
U.S.
Well, where to start.... as you say, yes attitudes toward nudity are
rather different in the U.S. than in Europe, to say the least. Since
you're covering the entire West, South, and East coast, I'd say the
best place to start (other than this notesfile) would be a publication
such as the World Guide to Nude Beaches (a new edition was just
published this year). When I was travelling around the west a few
years, ago, I also found two books entitled "Hot Springs and Hot Pools
of the Northwest/Southwest", by Jason Loam (sp?), to be very helpful.
You could also call the American Sunbathing Association, and The
Naturist Society to see if they'll send you any listings.
Have a great time!

| Oh, also, you probably know this, but the weather in Washington DC,
Philadelphia and New York probabably won't be too conducive toward
sunbathing (nude or otherwise) in October. But that doesn't really
matter, since the majority of clothing-optional places are in the West
anyway :-(

| There are places all along Hwy 1 south of San Francisco to beach
in the buff ;-). My SO & I found a number of places just north of
Santa Cruz, which should be right along your route to LA.
These places have cliffs that you have to walk down to get to the
beach, but they have fairly easy trails to get down. To find these
places, just look for cars parked along the highway. NOTE: the more
cars there are, the more chance there will be clothed people with
children. We did see 2 or 3 people off to the side in the nude, so
I guess most people don't care.
However, we did find a place about 2 miles north of Santa Cruz.
There were only a few cars, it was a small beach area and there were
only a few people that we could see. As you are heading south on HWY
1, approaching Santa Cruz, watch for just a few cars parked along the
highway and in front of a metal gate for a dirt road entering a Cabbage
field. You can park around there and it is about 1/4 mile walk to the
cliffs.
Hope you find it, we enjoyed it there :-).

| First of all I 'd like to say that you have a VERY nice vacation
planned.
In regards to your question concerning CO beaches/camping etc.
I'd offer one suggestion to your Sept 6-11 itinerary along
with Disneyland et. all. Just south of Disneyland (25 to 30 miles)
approx 50 kilometers, on the 5 Freeway, South of San Clemente
is the San Onofre State Beach. After you enter the State Park
(fee of $6.00 per day) you will follow the main road until it ends.
Park near the last shower/bathroom facility and then walk down to the
beach following the "trails" towards the water (1/2 mile). Once you are
in the sand walk south about 100 to 150 meters past the last life guard
tower and YOU ARE THERE! The off ramp off of the freeway is Basilone
Road. When you get to the end of the off ramp, turn right and follow
the road all the way into the park. You will go past the Nuclear
Generating station on your way to the park. This sate beach allows
camping in tents, Rv's or Motorhomes etc and has shower facilities etc.
If you need more info call me at dtn 533-3584 or at home 714-248-1438.
I live about 5Mi. from that area and if you need assistance I can help.

| Going from the Grand Canyon to Tucson you will pass by Shangrila (sp?). It
is just north of Phoenix. If I remember I'll put in what I have about the
resort this weekend. Sounds like a great trip!

You really DON'T want to know, how busy I've been since we got back.
When (If? :-) I get the time, I'll put together a trip report for the pleasure
of the readers of this and other conferences.
