San Gregorio Beach Bodyfest 2009
Here we are at San Gregorio Beach in central California where it is said nudism got a foothold many decades ago. We are communing with the ghosts of "hippie" throngs that once were here. We have brought our bag of fun and spent the afternoon entertaining and competing and engaging with each other.

It's another hilarious race, one that does not allow running nor walking. How fast can you go, crawling, rolling, or...?

Nomad's Notes
You might notice that earlier event is Beach Bodyfest 2010, a later event in real life. That is just due to picking random events to work on from the archive. As of this post we have not been back to the beach to do this kind of event. Instead it has evolved into just "Bodyfest" and just happened for the 3rd time yearly at Lupin Lodge. The Lupin event includes workshops and more activities and spans 48 hours. The beach events are usually noon to 5pm and by then people are ready to go home.
