Idaho nudists leave their clothing at the gate

WORLEY -- For those who want to take it all off, a northern Idaho nudist resort may be the place for you.

This week, four-year-old Sun Meadow resort near Worley, Idaho, is holding the 61st annual convention of northwest nudists.

About 200 people are at the 75 acre resort -- for activities such as nude bocce, volleyball, music and tamale making -- all done with a little courage and ample strategically applied sunscreen.

Terri Capshaw, an Idaho nudist who built a home next to Sun Meadow, says, "Your body needs air and sunshine. To me it's just like exercise. I'm more comfortable telling people I'm a nudist than saying I'm a Democrat."

Idaho's other nudist club is in Boise, and neighboring Washington state has four.

Nationally, there are 268 nudist clubs, up 26 percent in 10 years.

This thread is worthless without pictures.

"...I'm more comfortable telling people I'm a nudist than saying I'm a Democrat."

I can understand that.

[Izzy Dunne]

I'm more comfortable telling people I'm a nudist than saying I'm a Democrat."

Well, sure. One of those is shameful.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I'm more comfortable telling people I'm a nudist than saying I'm a Democrat.

You might want to rethink that pic request Joe.

Good thing Dodgeball isn't on the agenda.

"Tamale making"???? I have heard of bocce and volleyball as fun summer sports - but "tamale making"? Especially "nude tamale making". That's a new one on me.

[DBCJR]

I’d be more comfortable saying that I was a “nudist” than saying I was a “Democrat” , too! We can all be thankful that I am neither!

[L98Fiero]

How come the people who want to walk around naked are never the people we want to SEE walking around naked.

I’m of the opinion that “nudist” is just another word for “swinger”, anyway.

[Last Dakotan]

Making the nude tamales Americans won’t do.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

That explains the wood ticks...

[IamConservative]

Suppose they will wear hair nets while making those Tamales?

Nude cooking is pretty disgusting when one considers all the possibilities. And what about seating? Who wants to sit in a chair in a resturant with someone else’s “matter” in the seat?

Nude sunbathing, sure, if that’s your thing, but nude dining? Nude cooking?

[Oberon]

Nude sunbathing, sure, if that’s your thing, but nude dining? Nude cooking?

You should see the nude arc-welders...those guys are tough.

[Calpernia]

Well they even have Canuding!

that one gets a nomination for best post of the day :)

bump

[dfwgator]

Be careful what you ask for. Most nudists look like Kathy Bates in that hot tub scene in “About Schmidt.”

[GQuagmire]

“This thread is worthless without pictures.”

Sometimes no pics are a good thing. I bet this is one of them

[Oberon]

LOL...thanks. I’m here all week...don’t forget to tip your waitress.

[johnny7]

Most nudists look like Kathy Bates...

And those are the 'hot' ones...

[christianhomeschoolmommaof3]

My thoughts exactly! I would be more comfortable telling people I was an alien from outerspace.

[FormerLib]

Idaho nudists...

I didn't have to read any further than that to know I did not want pictures!!!

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Terri Capshaw, an Idaho nudist who built a home next to Sun Meadow, says, "Your body needs air and sunshine. ...

And I guess you can't get those things unless your breasts, buttocks and genitalia are exposed to public view.

[Red Badger]

It would be more worthless WITH pics!.........

[mikrofon]

nude tamale making

Another entry for the book of "words you'd never think you'd see together"...

[theDentist]

You too? I’m from Zubian-9 in the GJKLWEUHD:PDJ3 +887 -5.3 Algor galaxy. Try entering THAT on your Soc Security form...

[Ditter]

Nudist are beyond strange.

[KeepUSfree]

No, not in ANY way. There is actually very little crossover between the communities. I know alot of both and I would say that about 10-15% of nudists are swingers and about 5-10% of swingers are nudists.

Does that make statistical sense??

[NRA1995]

"I'm more comfortable telling people I'm a nudist than saying I'm a Democrat."

The two sorta go hand-in-hand. Couldn't help but notice they didn't give the woman's age.....

[CholeraJoe]

I tried to fry bacon without a shirt on once. Never again!

[bmwcyle]

No pictures please.

[CholeraJoe]

The nude turkey fryers are just as tough.

[Ditter]

Ha! they are even building the lodge nude. Nude construction workers, I thought they would be better looking than that.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

for activities such as nude bocce, volleyball, music and tamale making

All these things strike me as very, very, very "bad nakeds."

The only activities that should take place at a nudist colony should be pole dancing, car washing, and jello wrestling.

[Luke Skyfreeper]

Hey! I used to have a boss from Zubian-8! You ever run into the XziglN!pop^ family?

[T.Smith]

I think they meant to say "nude tamale hiding".

[wbill]

I'm more comfortable telling people I'm a nudist than saying I'm a Democrat."

There's a joke here, but I'm not sure what it is.

[HereInTheHeartland]

” I’m more comfortable telling people I’m a nudist than saying I’m a Democrat.”

Understandable, as one of these behaviors leads to depression, embarrassment, deviant sexual behavior and self destructive consequences visited upon future generations.

[gathersnomoss]

...”tamale making”? Don’t forget the taco and bearded clam.

[gathersnomoss]

I didn’t see Paris there.

[Disambiguator]

Here’s a nice, wholesome item for the ID list.

[theDentist]

Yes. They got expelled. Seems the little one was caught with a herd of cattle and a flooovian taddlist conveyer. The herd belonged to some state senator.... you know how it is.

No amateurs, please. Send FReepmail if you want on/off ISHP list

[AD from SpringBay]

Genesis 3:9 - And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? (10) And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was a democrat; and I hid myself.

Makes sense...

[FreedomPoster]

You don’t want to see pics, of most nudists. Like 98%+.

[Old Professer]

They have donuts for breakfast.

[EveningStar]

TaЯd ping!

[NRA1995]

Guess Idaho is having a lack of hard news.....

[al baby]

I was in a nude wedding once. I came within about an inch of being best man

[Charles Martel]

You should see the nude arc-welders...those guys are tough.

It'd be easy to spot 'em for sure - tanned only on the front!
