I grew up on a lake. It was small, only about a mile long and a mile wide, but it was enough. We fished, boated, and swam in that wonderful water every day of the summer. I didn't get to experience skinny dipping until I was a teenager. It was exhilerating. What a difference shedding the swimsuit makes. I now only skinny dip in our pool (when it's dark lol) and in the hot tub (which is in the garage), but it's still fun. =)~ I'm glad you had a relaxing afternoon.

I was at Franklin Canyon Resevoir on saturday, which is where that opening shot was filmed. that whistlin tune always goes through my mind when I'm walking down that little path to the "lake". of course, this is Hollywood, and so it's all fake. In fact, it's about 2 minutes from Mulholland drive and the I-405 perpetual traffic jam. It's a nice, quiet place to hang out sometimes, but if you were to try skinny dipping in the "andy griffith show" lake, you'd have 5 LAPD units and 3 police choppers on you in five minutes, tops. That's because it's part of the LA/Beverly hills water system. wow! what a coincidence!

I'd rush home from school, get all my chores done and then rush down to the creek for a quick swim. There is nothing like the feel of that first step into the mud. Sometimes, my brothers would join me but it was always more fun when I went alone. I agree with you on the cloudy water staying warmer. I used to go skinny dipping in a creek behind our place a lot.

Sadly, it is getting more difficult to find such lovely, private places and that sucks. Well, I guess that's one thing West Tennessee has going for it. Many folks spend a lot of dough for an experience like yours. Skinny dipping is one of the true rare joys of life.
