A few years back, while still on Active Duty, I was stationed at Fort Detrick, MD. I was running lots of races back then and often ran the wooded areas for training. I found a wonderful and fairly secluded place in Gambrill State Park, where the North Frederick Overlook is located. I would go there a few times a week and run after work. The trails were mostly used by hikers. After a few times I realized I rarely passed any other people on the trails and, of course, started to consider running nude. One day I decided to leave my shirt in the car and run only in my shorts. Once on the trail, I removed my shorts, but carried them with me. It was thrilling and my first nude run ever. Now, I've completed many nude 5k races at multiple resorts. I never crossed paths with any other people on that run and continued this many times. At one point I decided to increase the excitement, so I stopped and placed my shorts behind some brush. Now, I had no choice but to stay naked. This time, I noticed someone well ahead of me, walking in my direction. My adrenaline surged immediately and I quickly started considering my choices. Today, I would have chosen to continue my run past the hiker. But then, having to consider other things, I chose to leave the path and make a wide detour around the hiker. Even though I hoped the hiker would somehow catch a glimpse of my in my naked state. I continued to run the trail and returned to retrieve my shorts where I had hidden them. This, was my new thrill. I continued nude trail running for a long time.
