Perfectly natural - 2009-06-22 11:35:17
People call this lewd!! Come on this is natural, just watch Rap and Hip Hop videos, that is lewd!! They are doing a Nature Hike, and what better way than to go Au Natural. They should designate a day and hiking area for the hikers and "warn" people not to enter the area if this will offend them. One of the problems with our society is the mixed messages we send to young folk. Just and FYI: If you find this lewd then you sure want to be carefeul entering onto a European Beach.
