we went to Death Valley and ran into some nudists let’s talk about that good mythical morning sometimes when your guys like us and you’ve got a lot of things going on you got this show that you bring to the people you’ve got another channel you’ve got a wife you’ve got children check check check check check it a check check sometimes you just need to get away got it all with some guys get away from the internet from the internet and that’s what we did recently our good friend Nick who is kind of like he’s into a lot of stuff and he knows a lot of stuff about a lot of things he’s like are you should have hobbies Sherpa yeah right and he’s gotten into this he well he bought an old mitsubishi montero that has all this off-roading capabilities and he started going to forums and you know what happens when you go to foreign all goodness and his relationships start you start talking to people who like to go out into places like Death Valley he’s going to Death Valley he invited us to go he had been before I heard the report it seemed pretty exciting as a kid I’d always play with trucks with big wheels but the whole thing would be about this small so I thought as the pseudo adult as I am I thought odo adult jr. I thought I would simulate that soft adult in real life yeah I don’t like saying I’m a full adult so here’s what we did we went out with a group of four cars like a caravan of dudes doing I guess what is best called over landing and this is when you essentially go on a path that looks like you might want to hike it or to each maybe take a donkey on it and you take a very well-equipped off-road vehicle over these rocks and in these places that you wouldn’t think that a car could go yeah it’s like very intense hiking what while seated in a truck let me tell you we had an incredible time we drove into a mine we drove into these canyons we walked in a slot canyon we camped a couple of nights absolutely incredible experience highly recommended to all people saw scorpion nick was stung by some sort of flying insects perhaps it was a wasp I don’t know you know we were living on the edge so we literally but the most day I was going to say the most dangerous thing that happened to us no the oddest weirdest thing most uncomfortable moment of the trip happened the first night was when we stopped at a clothing-optional camp so I mean Nick told us that you can get there’ll be a hot shower there but he didn’t go into details about how everything was set up we just kind of had to take in it so in daylight with no people in the shot I took some pictures of the hot springs which is flowing into like a hot tub just out there in the middle of the desert just wide open and then just a little ways over there is a showerhead which is fed from the same hot springs yeah right there and to put this on to perspective okay we’re in the middle of this huge open desert valley with mountain ranges all around us as far as the eye can see just totally desolate and then there’s this that the hot springs thats a natural hot springs and they piped it into all these other places and there’s like little stands of palm trees but in general this is just totally open okay just totally open see everything every angle so we’re told that this is a clothing-optional uh area so we’re of the world but we don’t want the option of wearing clothes as we arrived I want to go and say that our option was as we drive in will be closed and it was very dark when we got there well we saw some tents set up some other people not a whole lot of people didn’t see any nekkid people but even if we had if that there were naked people there it was I mean we couldn’t see anything when we showed up and was totally black well if the headlights hit someone who’s if the headlights hit some headlights then we may have we right right yeah or tan lines there’s some things might might pop wider than others depending on your nationality but we did not see any interesting we did not see any nakedness and you know we knew that was the hot tub there because we’re told about it but if if you’re going to win in Rome well get naked but I think that’s the same it was Death Valley um now if you’re presented with the option of getting naked and getting in a hot tub at night when it’s under the cloak of darkness or waiting until the broad daylight of the next day which would you choose of course you would choose to just wait until the next day get up and let it be broad daylight yeah so that’s what we did yeah and I gotta say that really wasn’t a plan even though I made it my mind as I heard clothing-optional that I was going to take the option to being nude I was just like a snake spirit I haven’t done this before you know I want to have story to tell my kids about and you about grandkids but we weren’t comfortable doing it but we had decided to do it the three of us so we walk across the camp with a towel and some clothes still on us but when we get close I see some people and they had clothes on yeah yeah it wasn’t like there was just people just nude walk yeah I’m sorry didn’t know hippies with nothing on just running around everywhere I saw some campers nobody naked yet we get there to the to the to the hot tub and kind of look around no one’s in it no one’s around alright let’s do well and there’s this moment that you’re standing up and there’s the clear lines of sight to all kinds of tents and situations and campfires yeah and you you know you you just kind of drop your drawers I mean that’s what I did and there’s a moment there before you get into the hot tub that you’re exposed to the elements and to the world and you just have to own it and so disrobed and all three of us kind of make eye contact this is an important thing when you get into a hot tub with some guys at you ion-ion eye so if there’s not contact its eye on eye so it’s like eye on I’ll take off the clothes and then kind of sit down into the hot tub and you just keep the eye contact so we’re sitting there and you know playing it cool we’re talking about other things like wow first of all the water was a hundred and seven hundred seven to go to the ground right it was very clear though it was not muddy in any way which I would have preferred that if it was a little foggy and so we’re uh very very clear we’re lounge in there I’ve only made eye contact so I wouldn’t know how clear but seemed pretty clear lounging there and uh and then all of a sudden that the showers behind us I’m looking this way and Nick says there comes some people and that is the moment that I had to make a decision and I got to admit I chickened out as soon as you said here comes some people I said I think I’m gonna get in the shower like so right red hops out and hightails it away to the shower which is a little bit of brush cover there but you got me I got I walk to the shower naked I mean I just kind of mows it on over but now we did take simulated pictures of us naked at the shower but these were done post Rhett just took his shirt off and there’s no actual water running yeah because he still had pants on so then I look over at these people coming towards the hot tub and it’s two old men yeah with towels white hairs and only towel here white hairs here and the towels are just thrown over their shoulders and then so Nick and I are talking all of a sudden the guys come in and the guy the guy could have gotten into the pool anywhere but he decides to get in the pool right next to me yeah like literally he was like this close and like I see a young man he’s like a good a good adult junior I’m gonna sit next to him I felt like he was this close to grazing my ear with some part of himself and he gets in sits down beside me and then the other guy walks around and comes down right in front of me and Nick and I are kind of just one for the eye on eye contact and I’ve got a nice view of this I’m over there I’m shampooing at this point you know and price pretty primal first of all to take a shower no curtain in the desert naked and I’m taking a shower I’m looking over there might well I’m kind of I mean I am taking a shower out here but I’m glad that I’m not in the hot tub with those old men should you boys get in last night late you’re the ones who drove in yes sir we did and you know it had some small talk yeah it wasn’t that awkward at all with no pun intended and it was very awkward for for me mentally and I couldn’t wait for you to get out of shower so I could go get in the shower well but then I had to walk back over to the hot tub and there was a bench right next to the hot tub where my clothes were and I was just like I’m gonna keep rolling with this but I but I did wear the towel back over but then I took the towel off and got back into my clothes you know a couple feet from the hot tub and that was when it kind of hit me that I was like you know what I’m glad that I did this but I would not like to make this a lifestyle choice mm-hmm I prefer clothes I like the way they hug my body I like the way they keep me comfortable and the way they obstruct people’s view of your private parts that’s that is that’s pretty cool that’s the cool thing about clothes is how it strux people’s view of your private parts but just before we left we did happen we stopped by and said okay well let’s take a picture of this nice area the low hot springs it kind of looks like the Garden of Eden down there yeah another one and so let’s play a quick game I took this photo see if you can spot the naked person I think I see him there he is pretty easy to spot another naked old man so I wanna I said that’s all that was there yeah so you know don’t get a genome in if you go to the hot springs in Death Valley there’ll be a bunch of naked old man if you want to get to a hot tub with them feel free to maybe that shouldn’t be on a brochure or travel brochure of some kind but that’s really what the situation is thanks for liking and commenting
