My Encounter With FKK at Sunny Rest, Memorial Day Weekend 2014

Guest blog by: Julian Smith
I 've been humbled in being requested by Naturist Portal (FKK) to compose a guest blog about my experience with this wonderful organization during Memorial Day Weekend. Since you may or may not understand, FKK is a social-approval organization for nude friendly individuals interested in naturism, nudism and nudie associated tasks. Their first event of the season was at Sunny Rest Resort, which will be nestled in the Pocono Mountains of Southeastern Pennsylvania.
As stated on their site, Sunny Rest is a fun, sociable, and relaxed clothes-optional resort with day-to-day entertainment and modern facilities for all ages, genders, classes, races and body types. It was that and more.
Although this was my second season as a naturist, for some reason I was concerned to be meeting a new group of people, seeing a brand new resort, and being naked in public. Not sure where that was coming from, but, there it is.

These feelings were soon replaced by fear as I drove through a few rain showers and knew I still had to find the campsite and possibly pitch my tent in the rain. I arrived after the sun went down and luckily no rain was to be found. I immediately set up in the area designated for FKK near the tennis courts. I met a few new people near the campsite and made plans to venture to the bar and hot tub.
Since a definite frisson was in the air, I remained clothed, brought a towel and made my way to Flashers, which will be the club at Sunny Rest. When I entered, I was quite surprised to see it filled with clothed women and men, couples, single men (both old and youngish) speaking among themselves. I got this strange vibe as it looked to be a regular bar where people were out cruising for a night out on town. I walked around the pub in incredulity, as I wasn't quite certain what to anticipate.
I made my way around the dance floor and seating area to get a feel for the place and cannot locate any one remotely resembling an associate of FKK. Now that I think about it, it's odd to think that we've got a particular look. Anyway, I purchased a quick drink to settle the nerves and gazed hopefully in the direction immediately behind me.

I recognized some familiar faces in the group and knew that I was house. Without hesitation, I got out of my clothes and joined the group. On a few occasions that odd vibe returned as a number of people (mostly men) would arrive at the window of the hot tub and just stare for several seconds and leave. As someone would say, that is not proper nudie etiquette. After some relaxation in the hot tube, it was time for bed. The weekend had only started.

To give you a visual of Sunny Rest, the chief restaurant is the focal point of the community. Looking out from the back of the restaurant you'll be able to see the swimming pool / water volleyball court, followed by a seating area with lounge chairs three to four rows deep, and behind a decent sized heated dialog pool. Immediately to the left of the dialogue pool was Streakers, another pub, and next to that a bath house with restrooms and showers.
On both sides of the pool were additional seating areas. The registration office and gift shop lives next to the restaurant in a separate building. Next to that building was Flashers, which overlooks the sand volleyball court.
With amounts of accommodation starting from hotel rooms, RV lots and tent camping, the resort offers many choices when seeing. The best part of experiencing a resort with FKK is the camaraderie which is generated in a group of people from all walks of life with a common curiosity about naturist quests. As always, FKK made an effort to include everyone, including Sunny Rest members and visitors alike to participate in all of the activities during the weekend.
Those who stand out in particular were the nude slip-n-glide, glow-in-the-dark body painting followed by naked yoga with black lights and a few volleyball games against members of Sunny Rest.
Nude Slip And Slide at FKK Sunny Rest Memorial Day Gathering
While at Sunny Rest, I decided to take advantage of the other facilities available and made it to the work out room, that was below the club.
The work out space was small and confined with free weights, just one work out bench and two t read mills that appeared to happen to be assembled in the mid to late 1980's. Some of the free weights were corroded, and it appeared that an upgrade was in order. The nice thing about the gymnasium was that it was close to the pool, had a private toilet and shower and a bottomless water fountain. In general, it was a nice option to have during a stay at Sunny Rest.
The hiking trail was another part of the FKK weekend activities and was a very fine way to cool off as it wound its way through the trees and forest cover. At one point in the hike, we had an option of an easy path or a harder hike.
This is where the group split and I took the more challenging path with many group. It was a nice hike with a small bit that challenged us with a little vertical climb. After that, it was smooth sailing. After this demanding hike was whole, the heated dialogue pool was right down the road to soothe those aching muscles.
http://reliastraining.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=x-nudism.com for sure, is that Sunny Rest members take their volleyball seriously. During the day, many the swimming pool was allowed for nude volleyball. After this was complete, the whole pool was open to the public. You could chill out in the out of bounds area of the pool; yet, you had to be conscious of the game in the least times.
Later in the day, these same people ventured to the sand volleyball court for more activity. In http://curated.tv/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=videonudism.com , scores were kept, rules were followed, and the nature of competition was in full effect. Beginners may be tolerated, but not for a long time.
At Sunny Rest, guests have the options of a full-service bar alongside the pool in the mornings and days and an indoor bar with large hot tub in the evening. Never to be a prude; however, names like, Streakers and Flashers, sound more titillating than anything else.
Not necessarily my cup of tea. Although I had a limited experience with Flashers, I was surprised to discover that entry into the tavern was open to the general public (i.e. naturist, naturists and cloths) and not just members of Sunny Rest.
The great thing about this resort was that they had a bar and eatery that served three meals a day. When going to resorts, in general, I usually like to support local businesses and restaurants in the community.
