i had a period last spring where after two really bad visits to the springs I got very discouraged. that was when I started going more on weekdays and it could still be hit or miss in terms of the number of clothing-optional users vs not. but it was almost always more calm and relaxing. some on this board counseled me that in their experience things at DCHS come and go in waves--some years, clothing-optional usage is up, some years it is down. But by and large, I keep meeting great people down at DCHS, like yourself, and that is one of the best things about the place.
