Successful Club Visitation to Paradise Gardens

The Buckeye Naturists visited Paradise Gardens over the weekend (June 20-22) and a great time was had by all. Our friends from Have Sun Will Travel joined us.

This was the first time to visit Paradise Gardens for many of us and we were quite impressed. PG is an upscale nudist resort set on 35 acres. There were dozens of season-long campers and a healthy number of club members out in the sun Saturday afternoon.

Our folks enjoyed the pool, volleyball, petanque, hiking, sunning and conversation as well as a fine potluck dinner hosted by TBN for Saturday supper. The club furnished turkey and pulled chicken barbecue and lemonade.

There were a total of 8 visitors from TBN in addition to the HSWT members (didn't get a count for them) and, although there was a late-afternoon thundershower to cool things off, that really didn't hamper our activities.

Our next visitation will be July 11-13 (main day June 12) at Cedar Trails. This will be National Nude Weekend, so we're hoping for a good turnout.

Stay naked!
