I'm of the view that the formation of a formal "Friends of" group to contact, speak, and meet in person, as opposed to just Redditors commenting on-line, is critical.
I'd be suspicious of these guys too, right now they are saying things that are way too politically perfect and expedient. I never trust these "Land trusts" unless they are clothing optional /nudist based land trusts, I have seen some "conservationist" ones that all of a sudden close public access for the good of the wildlife, but then complain that nobody is donating to them because everyone forgets they are even there...we'll see. Again, why can't nudist pool their money and buy something for the good of nudism.....a long list of Propeties that could have been bought are suddenly sold to textile use. Let us hope this is not one of them
According to the Reddit thread POST has a terrible history and this doesn't bode well for the beach's status as a nude beach, or even that it will remain open to the public. Per one Redditor:
"As a local 10 minutes from the beach, I can say that POST has been nothing but a blight in our community. They buy or take land by eminent domain, and as a non-profit, don't pay property taxes that has hurt our schools and roads. They say land will be open to the public, but then put up fences, and in a few cases, armed guards to keep people out. They tried to steal the water rights from neighborhoods adjacent to the land they acquired. The list goes on and on. This is a sad day."
Good to hear never been to a naked beach but I would like too and get naked 😜
It's a while since I've been there, but I have happy memories of this beautiful beach. I'm very glad to know its future is [somewhat] ensured.
