Wiz, I thought it was the sheriff that saw you and not some other agency. Hell, here all along I thought it was the sheriff's dept. that spotted you naked.
But either way Wiz, you were not dressed and already in violation of the quarter mile rule.
Let me put it to you this way, you were hiking back out from the hot springs and butt naked with the munchkins. You could could have easily gotten dressed a quarter mile back from your truck. Then when the Search & Rescue folks saw you, there wouldn't have been a scene!
I understand you like hiking naked, but damn, get dressed in that last short quarter mile distance to your vehicle!! Man! you got to be more aware of that stuff!
