Burning Man 2002 Report. August 2002. Burning Man is a forum for radical self expression and art held every year in the Nevada desert (www.burningman.com). This year there were 29,000 or so participants, at the time the 5th largest city in Nevada (called Black Rock City). It is not explicitly a nudist event, but it is clothing optional all over. Only about 1 or 2 percent of the participants spend most of their time nude, but there is little traditional modesty - showers are sunshowers outside, many events request that participants wear no clothes. Masseurs give non-sexual nude massages out in the open shade. There is a lot of body painting, and nude events like twister and tai-chi. Topfreeness is rampant - one major event is a bike parade of thousands of topfree women riding bikes throughout the playa (the name of the camp site, a preshistoric lake). People support each other in the harsh environment - one art project was to document the adventures of the man who entered Black Rock City nude, without resources, and was immediately taken care of by the residents - given food, sunscreen, shelter, water, clothes if he wanted them. It is an atmosphere of individuality and caring, a week a year the way the world should be. Thanks Mickey for the report. If you wish to contact Mickey, click HERE.

Goldstrike Hot Spring and Sauna Cave Report. Fall 2003. Goldstrike Hot Spring is a series of natural hot springs located in primitive Goldstrike Canyon near Hoover Dam, less than 40 miles from the famous Las Vegas Strip. It's accessible by hiking either down the canyon from a wash just off of Highway 93, or hiking up the canyon from the lower Colorado River, if you have a boat or jet ski. Note: the author is included in several photos in this report to provide scale; I would have varied the human content if I had permission from others. The source of the springs begins to surface from the ground about 2 miles down from the trailhead. Water seeping from more springs further down the canyon joins to form a small creek that flows about a half-mile or so into the Colorado River, where Goldstrike Canyon joins Black Canyon...

Lake Mohave Report. Summer 2003. I live in north Azizona and I'm a member of T.N.S. When I moved here from California in 93, I thought there would be other like-minded people in Arizona, they are all in Phoenix. For the last 6 years I been keeping a cove clean on Lake Mohave, number 11 on the map of the National Recreation Area for Lake Mead. In July 03 I got a kayak after reading of kayaking on Mono lake. In September I did not make the Mono trip but I go to Laughlin, Nevada on Sunday and Wednesday all year long. In the cove i can be nude and now with the kayak I can go out on the Lake nude in the kayak and find other coves. At 64 years, I did 8 miles in the kayak. Come to Laughlin, Nevada and Lake Mohave and cove 11 on the Nevada side of the Lake on Sunday and Wednesday and be nude. Thanks Warren for the report!
