Today, I decided to drive out and hunt down the Denny Creek
letterboxes (those are in Washington, about 50 miles east of Seattle,
in case you wanted to know). Now I've done LOTS of hiking in my day,
and I've seen lots of strange and amazing things on the trail, but
never have a actually seen a naked hiker until today. Completely and
totally buck naked except for his socks, shoes (guess barefooted
hiking was too much for him) and a backpack.
I would have touched him to make sure I wasn't halucinating, but it
was a naked man, so I thought better of it. But I did tell him he
must have lost his clothes, since he didn't seem to realize he wasn't
wearing any.
What do you Washingtonians put in your coffee anyhow?!

And you didn't ask him if he was a letterboxer!
I once heard of a woman who would backpack topless when it was a hot
summer day.

Molly and I have been caught looking through letterboxes a couple times. When people see me, lets just say I don't really care about how I look in the woods. They saw this bum sitting on a rock, with a dog pulling like hell gasping being choked by her own collar. She is on two feet trying to get to them. I just looked at them saying nothing, pulling on Molly's leash. They walked by quickly and avoided eye contact. They don't know that Molly just wants to be with them. She might jump around some but wouldn't hurt a fly. She loves everyone. I guess what they don't know won't hurt them......Chuck

I thought it gave new meaning to the phrase of being somewhere "in
the flesh"! =)

Well, I was pretty sure he wasn't carrying any letterboxing gear in
his pockets, so I assumed it must not have been the case. ;o) But
seeing as he didn't sign in into any of the letterboxes out there
(all four are still alive and well, I'm happy to report), he's either
not a letterboxer or he's REALLY bad at it. =)

Sorry Ryan, Someone told me this story about 20+ years ago. I was
backpacking with the Sierra Club, and it was one of those trips were
you just wanted it to end because of the oppressive heat. So, this
man told us this tale. At that time, I just couldn't fathom why
anyone would want to backpacing without a shirt. Still can't. Ouch!
HAA! HAA! Pockets! Cute!

I would think chaffing would be too horrible to bother with, besides,
without any sort of "support" i would think even small busted ladies would
get a little tired of the constant bouncing.
Although, i do know women who will occasionally venture out in bikinis when
they know a nice swimming hole is at the end of the day hike.

Ryan,
That's pretty wild. I've never run across any naked hikers before
(only naked ducks, geese, bald eagles, caterpillars and river
otters) while letterboxing (or during any other outdoor activity).
We even saw a box turtle in hiding in Bowie, MD yesterday--but I'm
not sure if you'd considered him dressed or naked since he had his
house on his back!
