Hike Naked Day

Today is Hike Naked Day. If you plan to be on the Appalachian Trail today, you may encounter naked hikers such as these gentlemen.

How you deal with the encounter is up to you.

I did not hike naked on my thru-hike. I was in town that day and had forgotten about it. I hiked naked once on the Beamer Trail in the Grand Canyon but did not care for the feel of gear on my flesh or the idea of having nothing, however insubstantial, between all that rough rock and my butt. Sun exposure was a bit much, too.
