In my 6-week vacation, 4 of them in Newfoundland, I had almost no nude time available. But I had one wonderful morning in Nova Scotia with almost 2 km of beach all to myself, with warm sun and the sound of the surf. Ahhhh.... ❤️

Today's Yukon hike had an elevation gain of 983 meters/3,225 feet, and I had the entire mountain to myself except for the first hour. ❤️

It took a lot of shovelling to break up the huge snowpiles so they'd melt, but as of yesterday the property is snow-free so I can finish the Spring cleanup. In 7 days my wife and are leaving for Newfoundland to explore with a rented motorhome for 5 weeks.

I didn't feel like driving very far for my walk today, but it's okay, I know places ❤️

In Facebook Memories this morning: "A #TravelCanada from way back - hiking in southern British Columbia 43 years ago (September 1988), when I seldom photographed any of my naturist hikes. The lack of tan lines makes me think there were many, though 🙂 #naturism #NormalizeNudity"

Freedom in the mountains a couple of days ago ❤️

What a day. Being able to still get to the Venus Mine at 75 makes me deeply pleased. This is a trail that tests people decades younger - www.strava.com/activities/1...

The secret to turning this vast area green now is water, preferably in the form of rain but there's none in the forecast. Birds and butterflies were sure happy after I watered much of it with the hose, though.

I created another one for my regular pages, because part of my truth is that I am a naturist.

I'm still shovelling snow, but now it's for a very different reason than it has been for the past 7 months. Now I'm "shovelling my way into Spring," breaking up piles onto sun-warmed ground to get things growing weeks earlier than they would if I just let Nature take its course.

Spring arrived suddenly yesterday, after two 17-degree days - there are now buds everywhere around the property. It was my first big gardening day of the season. Whitehorse, Yukon

Today was an especially nice walk. It reached 17C/62F, the warmest day we've had in 7 months.

Wonderful walk along the Yukon River this afternoon, most of it barefoot as well ❤️

This is the photo from the Wolverine Peak Trail that I posted to my regular FB page a few minutes ago. Just enough to hopefully help #NormalizeNaturism 🙂

I'm back into scanning old documents, and I just found a very detailed trip report about a hike on the Wolverine Peak Trail at Anchorage, Alaska, in August 1990. This was my first of 23 years as driver/guide for lengthy motorcoach tours around the Yukon and Alaska. I shot 45 Kodachromes on the hike.

Today is World Naked Gardening Day, but this was my garden work yesterday - digging enough snow to get the moose-protection tents off some of the shrubs - so my celebration today might be quite limited 🙁

Finished splitting and stacking a 3-cord load of firewood this morning. Once it's dried like this for a couple of weeks, half will get moved to the basement wood room, the other half into the firewood shelter. Yes, burning is simply the final of several times firewood warms you :)

The theme of Earth Day 2026 is "Our Power, Our Planet," emphasizing the power of collective action.

What a day - that snow is 30 inches deep. I was digging my way to a tree to install a boreal owl nestbox I built (I made it - about 80 feet). The temp is 7C/45F now at 4pm. I was out in the sun for over 4 hours today - glorious! ❤️

It was so nice out today I decided to leave it out 😆 An hour of naked snow shovelling gets the tan off to a good start.

The AI commentary about nude hiking in the Yukon is SO incorrect as to just plain piss me off. 😡

This is great - I just shared it on the new Canadian social media app, EH! - web.ehnow.ca/app

It's been a brutal winter, with record-breaking cold and snow - it's rare to combine those two. Yesterday, though, it finally got warm enough in the afternoon sun to shovel snow naked for almost an hour, and the forecast is for more of that the rest of the week. 😀

Continuing my last post, I'm particularly pleased to see that my most-viewed blog post that includes nudity is "Celebrating World Naked Hiking Day the right way" - explorenorthblog.com/celebrating-... Posted 2 years ago, it still gets about 50 views per month.

I don't think I've ever really looked at stats for the many posts on my blog that include nudity to see if they're being accepted. I'm very pleased to see that they are, even ones like explorenorthblog.com/naturism-in-... that make it clear what's on the page and gets decent traffic 13 years later.

Thanks for asking - they were truly superb places to connect with nature. This is a Kodachrome of me shot by one of my clients ❤️

The possibilities were endless for the longer tours - Molybdenite Lake was 3, preferably 4 days.

The Chilliwack River Valley was the usual destination for tours of 1-2 days, and Airplane Creek was a favourite spot off that main valley. That was my tour truck - a modified 1970 Chev Blazer.

One of my short-lived business ventures. Funny story - I did a tour for a couple of young nudists in 1988, and when I went to the photo store to pick up the film I'd shot, some of which showed the 3 of us naked, both the young women who processed the film asked to go on a tour with me.
