“Naked & Scared Challenge” – Too scary for PA??

Last week, a haunted house operator in Pennsylvania planned, as part of
this year’s scary offerings, to offer the “Naked & Scared Challenge”. In
this option, patrons could go through the haunted house nude. This
seemed like a great idea and would be a lot of fun. AANR contacted the
operator to offer its support. Unfortunately, the owner informed AANR
that the naked challenge was cancelled due to local government pressure
and concern that law enforcement could shut down his entire operation.

A vocal minority has imposed its will on so many others. Close minded
individuals have made a decision for everyone else. AANR will be
commenting in the various media outlets that are covering this story.
This event reinforces the need for AANR to get beyond the “walls and
fences” and educate the general public about social nudism.

Nudism and Science Fiction – by Mike Parker

Reprinted from the WellSpring

In the early 1960’s, the late Forrest J (Forry) Ackerman
,
nudist and penultimate science fiction fan (he won a HUGO award in 1953
for #1 Fan Personality), wrote an article in a nudist magazine with the
above title. Ackerman was the editor of Famous Monsters of Filmland and
coiner of the abbreviated term “sci-fi”.
Some years back, your editor met Ackerman as well as famed authorRobert
L. Heinlein,

writer of far more than one book where nudity was featured. A rumor was
going around for years that Heinlein had been an early member of the
club now known as Mountain Air Ranch, which is the second oldest club in
the west. Subsequent to his death, we sent a query to his widow and
his estate agent asking if this was true. We received no answer. The
answer did come out recently in Heinlein’s posthumous biography,
published after the death of his widow, Virginia Heinlein, not long
ago. It acknowledged, in print, that Heinlein was indeed an early
member of that club. Did our request prompt this posthumous admission?
Perhaps.
Other major science fiction authors also have been nudists and some of
them were (and are) also members of our organization. Privacy concerns
prevent the release of their names.
Nudity was prominently featured in the late Phillip Jose Farmer
’s
Riverworld

series, where each reincarnated person from Earth awoke as a young adult
and nude along the classic book series’ seemingly endless winding
river. Each time they died, they awoke in the same state, nude again,
still farther down the river.
Here is an on-line location where classic science fiction books are
reviewed by nudists:
http://io9.com/5889724/classic-science-fiction-novels-reviewed-by-nudists
. Another such location is: http://www.naturistplace.com/nudesf.htm

In space, no one can hear you scream and it definitely is too cold to
undress, but, inside the fictional literary space ships, perhaps they
truly were going where no one had gone before. And with nothing to wear!

Serious Landslide at Wreck Beach

On Sunday, October 13th just after 2:00pm PDT, a serious landslide
turned Trail 5 from Northwest Marine Drive to Wreck beach into a sheer
cliff dropping 180m to the beach. Luckily, no one is known to be hurt.
The trail is closed because it is still an active slide area. This
trail has been closed for over 10 years, is not on trail maps, and is
not the main access to the beach.

Nudist Rights

At the AANR-NW fall board meeting (9/28-29/2013), the board decided to
explore means to better inform our members and the public on the efforts
that AANR and AANR-NW make on behalf of nudist rights. The preliminary
focus will be on providing short articles on significant nudist rights
issues in the weekly eNews and other AANR-NW publications. These
articles may include news items, links to other publications or
websites, and pending legislation at federal, state or local levels.
Assistance would be appreciated. If you see any related news items
please forward the information to the committee:

have them. All tools and clean-up bags will be furnished. We will be
working with the Rooster Rock park staff. The Park Ranger Supervisor
will have a list of projects that includes light to heavy work.
Volunteers do not have to pay the day use fee. Tell the person in the
registration booth, if it is manned, that you are there for the
clean-up. When registering for the clean-up, you will receive a card to
put in your window. MEETING LOCATION CHANGE: Because of a cross country
event at the east end of the parking lot that morning, meet instead at
the office near the entrance. The clean-up should not last longer than
around three hours, and will be followed by a hamburger/hot dog barbeque
out on the beach where the main trail comes through the vegetation.
AANR-NW will provide table, barbeque, plates, tableware, napkins, cold

dessert snacks. The only restrooms accessible from the nude beach are
located near the parking area.

purchased at the store or deli after crossing the bridge to the island
but SOLVE again is providing free day-of-event passes for those that
volunteer. Restrooms are portable toilets located in the parking area
near the beach trail openings. We will concentrate our efforts on the
gravel road parking area and litter sweeps of the beach area from nude
beach opening one (number two marked opening) to the opening marked
number six. Meet on the beach near the second nude beach opening (number
3 opening). A potluck will be held at around 2:00 p.m. AANR-NW

covering canopy. Bring a folding chair/towel to sit on and dry off with
as well as a potluck item and your favorite beverage.
