Well, that was a naturist hike with a difference. I added another km to that total because of an issue. Between the start and the finish, my truck keys had fallen through a hole in my carrying sack. I had a choice to either retrace my steps or walk home where I didn’t have a second set of keys – they have been seriously misplaced. Luckily, about a half kilometre into retracing my steps, I found the truck keys on the path, just steps away from where I had taken my first photo of my free-hike. Needless to say, I will have a sewing task of repairing that hole, or better yet, having a clip for the keys to prevent any future loss through new holes.

This was the photo that had somehow provided the keys with an escape route from my little sack. Today was my longest free-hike of the year. I could have gone longer but I had other tasks I wanted to complete before the afternoon temperatures soared. I have to dead-head the roses and then search for a pair of new tires from my truck as the rear tires are in poor shape.
I have begun a new story, or should I say I have returned to a story I had begun sometime in the past. It will be a different sort of tale. I have posted the prologue to that story on my Patreon site. You can read the story as it develops without having to pay to become a patron. That said, anyone who choses to become a patron will have access to more of my work, including podcasts and other creative efforts. Most of my patron-only material will be focused on naturism in some form or other. I look forward to hearing your comments on the new story, as well as any support you might choose to give for my continued efforts.
