I go to Gunnison a few times a year and often wear just a tan through speedo between the parking lot and beach. As soon as I think I am out of sight of the road it comes off and stays off until I reach the same point on the way back. I have seen men in g-strings, skimpy loincloths and apparently just a towel on the walk, but never nude. Strange thing is how many men are fully dressed. Why wear more than the minimun if you are going to be nude soon?

I agree that the minimum is all that is needed, but we have to realize that not everyone lives close to the beach. I live 3 hours away by car so I need clothes for when I want to stop to eat. Also, to wash off the salt and sand, I need to use the showers before getting dressed. I also spend quite a bit of time rinsing out that speedo in the bathhouse, so that extends my nude time just a bit more.
Since my last trip to Gunnison,I have purchased a couple of swim thongs, so I hope to join those g-string and loincloth wearers on the walkway and to the parking lot for my next journey.
