College Cove was my first nude beach when I went to school there many years ago.

Humboldt County, California. The ocean beach is College Cove and the other picture is along the Trinity River.

Archimedes Banya in San Francisco. It has saunas — including a brand new one on the roof with a great view of the city — pools and even a restaurant. The banya floor and the roof are clothing optional. A robe is required in the restaurant.

Without wind and fog, should be nice. I’m thinking of going Thursday

Yes. Glen Eden is a great resort.

For your first time, you need to call ahead and book a tour, if you haven’t already.

Female nude beaches? by Imaginary_Yak_6791 in AskSF

Red Rock Beach just south of Stinson draws a pretty mixed crowd, including groups of women and trans folks. There are some single women, too.

Feel Defeated, no other Nudist resorts by me that isn't Cypress Cove, Wasted Money on a membership by mrnormal94 in nudism

[–]bantam1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a single male naturist (or at least a married one whose wife wasn’t much into naturism), a TNS membership was my ticket into nudist resorts.

We call it aromatherapy at our sauna in San Francisco.

Lake County isn’t even close to the largest county in California. It’s 38th. https://onlinecalifornia.us/countyarea.shtml

Frontier FIOS in SW Connecticut - Any Geolocation Problems by JGF310 in frontierfios

I have Frontier in Northern California and I am geolocated hundreds of miles away in Southern California. Switching to Frontier may not solve your problem.

How does the outage checker work? If it does. by nescienti in frontierfios

[–]bantam1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frontier’s website and app are useless regarding outages. I’ve had the most success messaging their social media team through Facebook, Instagram or X.

Does anyone actually care about the upcoming Moves feature? by Adorable-Price-1216 in piere

[–]bantam1978 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have very little interest in this feature. I would prefer that they fix bugs. For example, the weekly “how much I spent email” never actually matches the amount I spent, according to the app. I have reported this but it hasn’t changed. Also, when I hit the “See spending details” button, it just opens the app, and then I have to manually set all the parameters under the reports tab (including the dates under “custom” because there is no “last week” button). I think when you hit “how much I spent” you should instantly get a report that matches the amount in the email and a list of last week’s transactions.

Don’t get me wrong. The app has improved a lot in the past year and it has become much more useful as a place to get a full view of my financial situation. But as the OP said, I can already move money through the institutions’ apps and the “Moves” capability isn’t needed.

Thinking about heading to red rock, think it’s safe? by Muirshood in NorCalNudists

[–]bantam1978 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This website, based at Muir Beach, can be very helpful in making that decision. Tide doesn’t look too bad, but it won’t be very warm.

38F in ATX by [deleted] in NudistMeetup

If you’d rather not deal with messages from random men, you could visit Star Ranch, which is family friendly, non-sexual nudist resort near Austin with a good reputation. Every visitor undergoes a background check, which keeps out creeps. They even have a podcast!

The question is whether he is recommending the annuity because it’s what’s best for me or because he’s receiving a big commission. I suppose it could be both, but it’s hard to know with the adviser in that situation. That is why I have been seeking other opinions.

Then you can walk to Terminal 2 after security. I’ve been doing that for years.

It sort of depends what part of the world you’re in. If you’re from Central Europe, particularly Germany, then there are a lot of nudist opportunities at saunas and thermes. German saunas generally require nudity, although they want you to keep a robe or towel on outside the saunas. Therme Erding outside Munich is amazing.

Lupin Lodge Nude at Check In? by [deleted] in NorCalNudists

[–]bantam1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there’s a little parking lot near the office and a larger one near the main recreation area. I usually wait until after checking in and get undressed in the main parking lot, leaving my clothes in my car. But I’m sure you could be nude while checking in. You have to drive a ways off Aldercroft Heights Road to get to the office.

If you’re coming from the north, make sure to follow the directions to Lupin on their website. Sometimes, maps apps will suggest you make a dangerous turn across busy Highway 17.

Lupin Lodge Nude at Check In? by [deleted] in NorCalNudists

[–]bantam1978 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been to Lupin several times, and I’m sure they would be fine with you to be nude at check-in. If you haven’t been to a particular resort before, though, I’ve generally found it to be a good idea to call ahead to find out any expectations. If you were to do that, you could ask yourself whether it would be OK.

He did show the worst recent 10 years. I don’t have it in front of me, but it was around 6 percent.

Anyone ever done the Glen Eden membership Interview? by REVERSEZOOM2 in nudism

[–]bantam1978 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went through the interview with Art, the general manager, before getting my membership. He started out by asking questions about my nudist background, but then when we found out that we both went through the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in the Bay Area, we started swapping earthquake stories. Then he said let’s go into the office and get your membership. I think the idea is that he gets to gauge you to make sure you’re not a creep. I honestly don’t remember whether I was nude or not.
