First timer
Well I pulled the rip cord this year and have decided to give GNI Gathering a try... I'm exciting.. 2025 will be my first time... (so be gentle)...
Little anxious, but looking forward to it and getting to meet folks... I think I'll be in the "I" cabins, a friend is a coordinator and tends to get the same one each year..
Welcome to the GNI Gathering!!! Your anxiety will wear off shortly after you arrive and you'll begin to enjoy yourself greatly. I recall a few years ago bumping into an acquaintance as we both were on our way to one of the bus pick-up points, and he informed me that this was his first time going (I had been going for several years.) 2 hours after we got there, we came across each other during the daily social hour, and he said to me "John, this is great!" The GNI Gatheirng really is no different from any other nudist get together; no one is judged on what you look like, people are very friendly, and your value is based more on your character and personality than what you have, don't have or do.
I arrive on Wednesday and will be in Cabin I-2. My name is John, if you wish to meet to say hi.

It does have one difference than many gatherings. Clothing is not allowed.
