Nomad's Notes

A 50-minute HD movie, Bodies of Water, is available that covers this event at: movies.naked-club.org.
Folsom Lake is a large reservoir not far from Sacramento, California. When I originally scouted the location the water level must have been extraordinarily low, though I did not realize that the level changes much. I marvelled at the beautiful rounded rock formations. So when I made arrangements for this event, I imagined it would take place on rounded flats of stone.
A couple of years had passed and on the day we arrived all the landscapes I liked so much were under water! The water level had risen right into the surrounding forests. We had to hike on small trails, looking for a suitable open area. This was difficult as we often found ourselves at a dead end and had to back track. After about 30 minutes or more of fighting with the bush we found the spot you see in the images and videos. It worked out rather well with a green background.
The June water of this lake is pretty cold. But you can see it did not really deter people from jumping into it.
