“I like me better naked. I don’t mean that in a vain way…When you put clothes on, you immediately put a character on. Clothes are adjectives, they are indicators. When you don’t have any clothes on, it’s raw and you can’t hide.”

RoadRunner Naturists Club
Roadrunner Naturists is an active group of nudists based in northern New Mexico, with most events held in the Albuquerque area. The average age of our members is 40's to 60's, but ages range from diapers to wrinkles. Some of us are single and some are married. Some have school-age children, who accompany us on our outings, and some of our children are grown but still come along when they can. We are bound together by friendship, a love of the outdoors, and a common belief that there is nothing shameful about the human body. Our custom is nude when possible and appropriate, clothed when practical. If we are cold or sunburned, we dress accordingly. http://roadrunnernaturists.com

Short Story
A Day in the Nude Garden
Once upon a time in a little-known valley, sheltered from prying eyes by a ring of gentle hills, there lay a hidden garden known to a special few as the Nude Garden. This enchanting place was a haven of nature where flowers bloomed with abandon, trees whispered ancient secrets, and a clean, crisp stream flowed like a living ribbon through the landscape. Here, the sun shined a bit warmer, the breeze caressed a bit softer, and the world's relentless noise seemed to quiet into a respectful hush.
This garden was the sanctuary of Elara, a woman whose life had been intertwined with the rhythms of nature from her earliest memories. To her, clothing was a barrier to the sheer joy of existence, an unnecessary layer that muffled the planet's heartbeat. In the Nude Garden, she was free to be her true self.
On this special summer's day, dawn just kissed the horizon, painting the sky in hues of gold and honey. Elara emerged from her modest stone cottage that skirted the garden. She embraced the new day as she always did: completely devoid of any attire, reveling in the sensation of the cool morning air on her skin.
The garden burst with the rich scents of lavender, rosemary, and wild roses—a mosaic of fragrances that filled the air. Elara made her way barefoot down the dew-kissed path, each step connecting her more deeply to the earth. She stopped by the stream, clear and inviting, and cupped her hands to drink the fresh water. A school of tiny fish darted away, glinting like scattered jewels beneath the surface.
Today was a day of celebration. The first sunfruit of the season awaited her, hidden amongst the foliage like a sun-drenched gem. Elara navigated through the vibrant paradise, passing by hummingbirds and butterflies dancing their morning ballet.
Finally, she reached the sunfruit tree. The fruit hung heavy and lush, ripe for the picking. She chose one, feeling its warmth in her palm, and brought it to her lips. The first bite was an explosion of sweetness and sunshine, a taste of the earth's bounty.
Later, as the sun climbed higher, Elara lay on a patch of emerald grass under the shade of a sprawling oak. Here in the company of twittering birds and softly rustling leaves, she began her meditation, a practice as daily as the sun's journey across the sky. Her heart felt at peace, her mind at rest, and her spirit as vast as the sky above.
The garden's magic was not hers alone to cherish. Occasionally, Elara welcomed kindred spirits who appreciated the natural world as much as she did. Today, her friends Leif to Mara joined her, both fellow naturists and guardians of the earth's splendor.
Their arrival was always unannounced but welcomed as they, too, embraced the bliss of the garden's freedom. Hugs were exchanged, genuine and warm, their embraces mingling with the rustling leaves of the trees and the petals of the wildflowers.
Together, the trio tended to the garden, each throwing themselves into their work with jovial murmurs and laughter. They planted new seeds, cleared away dead foliage, and shared insights about living harmoniously with the land. In the garden, speech was not confined to words; it was in the shared glances of understanding, the mutual nods, and the symphony of life teeming all around them.
As the substantial meal concluded, the trio lounged on the grass, solace found in each other's silent company. With sunset approaching, a tapestry of colors began to spill across the sky, hues of lavender, cerise, and tangerine blending seamlessly. onOptionsItemSelected
It was as though the heavens themselves were reflecting the spirit of the Nude Garden—a place without artifice, free from pretense, and full of the essential beauty found in bare, unbridled existence.
As darkness gently enfolded the garden, Elara, Leif, and Mara returned to their separate dwellings, bodies and souls nourished. The moon rose, casting ghostly silver beams across the now-slumbering garden.
In the Nude Garden, time was measured not by the ticking of a clock but by the flowering of buds, the ripening of fruit, and the cycle of seasons. It was a reminder that, beneath our trappings and facades, we are all a part of nature's grand design, wild and beautiful in our essence.
And so concluded another day in the Nude Garden, where the human spirit danced with the natural world, unclad and utterly free.

The Many Names We Take Pride In
Our organization has undergone significant changes over the past few decades, with a focus on providing more detailed and comprehensive descriptions of the locations where we practice and enjoy our nudist lifestyle. While terms such as "nudist colony" or "nudist camp" may have been accurate in the past, we now prefer the use of terms such as "nudist clubs," "parks," or "resorts," which better reflect the diverse and welcoming nature of our community. Additionally, we have adopted new terminology to describe ourselves, including naturists, nudists, or members of clothing-optional organizations, highlighting the positive and respectful aspects of our lifestyle.
We believe that our lifestyle is grounded in basic human rights, such as the freedom to express oneself and the freedom to be comfortable in one's own skin. Our organization is committed to ensuring that these rights are protected and respected, and we work tirelessly to promote acceptance and understanding of our way of life. In addition to advocating for top freedom, social nudism, and family nudity, we also support a range of initiatives aimed at promoting body positivity and inclusivity, including educational programs, community events, and outreach activities. By working together, we can build a more open and accepting society that values diversity and celebrates the beauty of the human form.
