Hike to Bass Lake

This small lake at Point Reye's Park in California has a long history as a skinny-dipping spot one can visit not too far from San Francisco. A 40-minute hike along an easy trail will bring you to the water's edge. This group of 7 go swimming but also explore a couple of ponds as well as the cliffs overlooking the Pacific while free of clothing and other possessions. Movie is available on Vimeo.

nomad-notes

My intention on this outing was to capture the experience primarily on video rather than photos. I only had two photographers along and did not shoot any stills myself. It was the perfect day - sunny and warm - and the trail did not have many people on this week day. I knew that we could get in trouble for being nude on the main trail so we indulged in our naked fun out of eye sight of other hikers. I think this is the only trip where we camera people did not get nude, only because the circumstances made it impractical with the group getting undressed and dressed a few times and trying to shoot everything and keep an eye out for rangers. That is also why we do not appear in any of the visuals. The completed movie is available on Vimeo.
