I'd love to be able to attend, but don't have a reliable car. If anyone will be driving down from the SF Bay Area, I'd really appreciate a lift. Would be willing to help out with gas and other expenses. If you're not familiar with me, I'm sure Evan would vouch for me. Obviously, sleeping accommodations would also need to be arranged.
Not to dissuade you from attending Evan's event, which I would personally make the effort to attend if I lived even slightly close... but in case you have trouble getting there, there will be 2 other open events nearer to you in the Bay area. At Lupin Lodge (Los Gatos) and Sequoians (East Bay). You can check the various events at https://skinnydipday.org/events
Thank you so much for the suggestions. I had not thought to check other events. Bates Beach is my first choice because it would offer a chance to finally meet Evan and other online contacts in the flesh. But if that doesn't work out, I'll do my best to get to Sequoians or Lupin. I see that a "private event" in my home city of San Francisco is also listed; I've written to the Skinny Dip Day organizers asking them to look into whether I might be welcome to join that. Thanks again for your helpfulness.
6713 Rincon Point Lane, Carpenteria, CA 93013. The Meetup event is linked in the post above and has explicit instructions for reaching the far north clothing optional portion of the beach. It’s a bit of a haul to walk up to from the parking lot.
thats a little further than I thought, thought it was more in the LA area for some reason haha, oh well I'll def have to keep it in mind for the future so I can plan it out a little sooner.
Stunning artwork by Zaftig !! And beautiful write up, Evan 💙💙
Thank you for sharing; donating; and encouraging us to donate as well.
As a community who inherently cares about ending body shame... we must be involved in this practical matter of ending such horrific body shame.
