First hike of 2023

It was 80 f in Michigan today, a good day to check out the trails on the local government land. The first trail had been worked up, so they good have a controlled burn. It is about 1.5 miles long. I hope they keep it moved. The second trail is several years old but in good shape. Need a few small wind falls cleanup. I hope to get at the clean up next week. The third trail has been moved but I didnt have time to check it.

Hiked nude about 3.5/4 miles, I sure enjoy the wind and sun on my nude body. One trail has several benches where you can catch some sun. Look forward to this summer.

I have a question for you guys, how do you keep the deer flies, mosquitoes and other insects from biting?

Use a natural bug spray. Works even in the middle of a forest when the mosquitoes and flies are active.

Sounds amazing. Picaridin lotion is my favorite. But not much help for deer flies. Those buggers draw blood. Especially up north. I cant wait to be in nordhouse dunes this summer

April 16 , 2023 . Got to the beach past 3 days when temps were in the 70's with sunshine . Naked there laying out on my beach towel . I use Deep Woods Off . Works with mosquitos and deer flies . But always carry it with me to the beach , because some of those flies are immune to Deet . Spray them when they land , so am able to swat them dead .

Wife and I had our first visit to our favorite Michigan state park this season on Monday. We were the only two enjoying the gorgeous weather on the secluded skinny-dipping beach. The hike through the forest between the parking lot and the beach is a mile. Leaving the beach, I hiked naked about half way back to our car. Could have been nude the entire way and in the parking lot and not run into anyone.

Is your favorite Michigan State Park, Saugatuck? I enjoy the trails and beach there, when I can get there.
