WORLEY, Idaho – For 200 vacationers driving into a northern Idaho resort this week, Independence Day had a whole different meaning.
The Sun Meadow nudist resort in this region of wheat fields, tall pines and rolling hills offers gated amenities for those who prefer going without.
The nudists are at this 75-acre resort for the 61st annual convention of the American Association of Nude Recreation’s Northwest regional chapter.
“I undressed before I hit the front office and I haven’t had a stitch of clothing on since,” said Shirley Gauthier, a recent arrival. “I don’t like the confines of zippers, elastic and snaps.”
This is the second time Sun Meadow has hosted the regional convention for the 2,500 members in Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Montana.
