Rude naked people?

I was at Pennsic. a huge medieval festival and they have a Classic Swimming hole that is clothing optional. no cameras. but this was only the second time in my life i had ever seen these. there was no way i was going to let some stupid naked people stand between me and them. Amazingly the only people rude about it were people you could not have paid me to take a picture of... and they were rather rude. i try really hard not be rude myself but in this case i was. especially when the one lady said there was a bunch of beautiful flowers thus indicating her and her friends and i looked around and said "huh i dun see any around" while looking right at her.

Ha! People at the local clothing optional areas usually aren't too uptight about things. One is usually populated by students from a local college, the other by mostly older people and sometimes dudes looking to hook up. I've had a scary encounter with a pushy (human) bear but otherwise they've been pretty laid back about things. Then there are random swimming holes all over where you don't know what you'll encounter. I've come across people at some of the most remote ones and hung around swimming holes right off roads without a soul around.

What state/province/country or whatever were these in? I wonder if I have them around here but never saw them. I'm in Ohio.

Western PA and they are native to your area as well.

What was the area like that you found them in?

near a creek. filled with naked people. it grows on certain tree roots in moist places. the Wiki article above covers some of that
