"HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) - Every year on the first day of summer, a few outdoor enthusiasts nationwide expose virtually all of themselves to insects, scrapes and thorns for the pleasure of bonding with nature au naturel.

They call it Naked Hiking Day."

You know .... in the south, naked has two meanings depending on how you say it.

Naked - got no clothes on
Nekkid - got no clothes on and he's up to somethin'

I think these people are up to somethin'.

Yeah, I can't imagine how uncomfortable that would be. I love to hike. But with terrain like that I like to wear jeans and if it's not too hot, long sleeves b/c even then I get scratched,  bitten, and itchy. Plus you should have a scarf or hat to protect you from ticks. I just know that if I tried that I's be a walking target for poison ivy. :spooked:

There was an interesting comment in the story about those little buggers ...

"there's an advantage to hiking naked in a buggy area: wood ticks on the skin are easier to spot."
