Great day for a hike. Warm but not too hot. Busy at the springs but nice folks
that all enjoyed themselves.

I arrived late, around 11am. Missed my group (if anyone made it) and missed meeting up with the OC Naturist group.
Hiked alone (not alone really, several groups in front and back) on a busy day
at the springs. Lone naked hiker on the way down. Passed by and was passed by
a few groups but no one was bothered by a lone freehiker.

Creek was cool for the crossing and I took up residence on the far side beach
where only a few nude folks were. Very clothed day at the springs. Only about
5 no clothes folks plus a few topless girls amongst the family hikers and the
420 crowd. All were enjoying the day together without trouble.

A guy there caught a rattle snake right by us. He was like the crocodile
hunter, grabbing the snake not only by the tail but by the head and petting it
on the head. He let it cool off in the creek before relocating it up the
hillside.

Headed back up the trail around 3. Hot hike but not the hottest I have had.
Met up with a hiker that I converted to a freehiker before the end of the trek.
Hopefully he'll be joining us here soon. We were passed by another freehiker
before we reached the top. Hiked with and past many clothed hikers along the
way with nothing but "hello's" and "have a nice days'."

All in all a good trip. Never saw the OC group but I was told by and old Deep
Creek friend that they headed up creek as the textile crowd was too much for
them right at the springs. I felt welcome and relaxed in the clothed crowd.
Great hike.

Did anyone else make it for the hike?
