I was able to go to the State Parks Commission meeting today in San Diego. A lot of members of the naturist community showed up and spoke to the commission. The main points raised included requesting State Parks to set aside designated clothing optional areas State Parks. Speakers also mentioned that State Parks should reimplement the Cahill Policy. There were several good speakers- among them were Ron Mercer, Lloyd Johnson of Blacks Beach Bares, Robert Morton of the NAC , Greg Young, Victor Farr, Allen Baylis from Friends of San Onofre, Donna McCallum, Ed Plummer, Eric Ruehr, Gene and Greg Gatewood, Claudia Keller and many,many more. Although the Parks Commissioners couldn't act on anything, they got a good earful from the naturists.
There will probably be more discussion of these issues with State Parks in the future, especially if people continue to get cited for simple nudity at San Onofre. The hope at the policy level is that Jerry Brown wil replace current Parks Director Ruth Coleman with a Director supportive of developing clothing optional areas in State Parks and at State Park beaches.
