Spring is my season of hope.  It is the season that sees my nudist camp open- which is always good.  With the opening, my friends return to my backyard, BBQs become plentiful, outdoor work can begin, skinny-dipping becomes a daily experience, and long walks in beautiful surroundings bathed in the sun alone become my norm.  Yes, spring is good.

As someone who has always lived in the Northeast, either in NY or PA, I’ve always wondered what it’s like to live somewhere that is always warm.  Do people in California, for instance, appreciate the spring the way I do?  Without the snow, do you really appreciate the heat?  Or is it even better to be somewhere in which you don’t have to long for the warm months for half the year?  I don’t know which is better but I’m sure it boils down to personal preference.  For me, I’m just glad that spring weather is upon us and our actual first day of spring is a mere hours away!

It won’t be long before the owner of my camp returns from Florida to start putting our place back together again.  Friends and members will gather on evenings and weekends to set up chairs, clean everything, add a coat of paint where needed, prepare the pool and hot tub, and overall get camp ready for opening day.  Those weeks before camp opens are some of my favorites of the year as there are people around once again and everyone is working together for a common cause.

There’s something special about preparing for opening day, there’s something special about the people in this camp…. there’s just something special about our AANR camps/ clubs.  Yes, life is good.
