Subsequently in late 2011 came the sudden demand for a no-fault divorce. By the end of the year I was single.
A 64 year old male, unexpectedly alone, after 36 years of union.
In mid-June came an email from California with just a date as well as a hyperlink, no explanation in the slightest. Yet knowing who sent it, I 'd the instant feeling that it was an "I dare you" sort of thing.
So I clicked the link and was taken to a web site page. On the page, next to the date in the email was "Open House".
It was for an Open House on August 4, 2012, at a place called "Paradise Gardens" near Cincinnati, Ohio.
the "House" page disclosed it was a "Nudist Park". No question about it, a challenge had been issued to me.
With a bit of trepidation I clicked on the "info" link along with a series of emails were changed. beach babes should go to the office first to register and show ID. https://rudefly.com .

I should call before leaving house and use the call button in the security gate. Eventually, challenge ACCEPTED.
Well, the adjustment to seeing nude people and BEING SEEN NUDE by folks took about 20 seconds. By the time that I got to the office to register, I was feeling quite at home and cozy. I took a solo walk-about of the main region to get my bearings and find w here most significant areas were. Found an open spot in the "common area", set down my chair and established a "home stage" from which to begin my experience.
First observation, these individuals take their volleyball serious. A fast shower and then splash. It was fantastically wet and cooling. Then came the shocking realization, I, an old man, was actually skinny dipping for the very first time!
Back home, the investigation began. But the AANR hunt yielded nothing within an hours drive. Oh dear me.
Enlarging the radius to two hours distance produced a club in the Canton-Akron area, "Green Valley".
Another "day trip" affirmed it, I was a "Naturist".
Then came the discouragement. I understood I would be a Naturist, but mostly stranded at home, with no place fairly close to travel to many times per year. I can only expect that "some day" )
