Northern Cascades - August 2006

This last weekend the ScenicBoys decided to get out of the city and set out on another camping adventure. This time we opened up the trusty road Atlas and found a Hot Springs at the base of Glacer Peak, in the Northern Cascades. It looked like a fun trip, the drive looked easy and the 5 mile hike to the Springs sounded kinda of fun. So we packed up the Ford Explorer we rented for the weekend with food, beer, fire wood and minimal clothing, then embarked on our journey north.

We had a planned route that took us 25miles east from the interstate and would take us a few miles south of the Springs. We drove past some huge, snow covered mountains and cool old farm houses, then turned onto a gravel road heading into the forrest and to our potential camp site. But we only got about 5 miles in when the road was barricaded off and we couldn't go any farther. Guess the winter storms had washed out the road. So now what? We really want to get to that Hot Springs but there is no way to cut up to it. After a bit of discussing our options we decided to drive back 30 miles to the interstate and take an exit farther north that would eventually get us just above the Hot Springs. 2 hours later we were on a gravel forrest road heading for a camp site very close to the Springs, when we see another Barricade blocking the our way. Shit, there goes the Hot Springs idea. Just a little bit bummed we find a very secluded camp site and set up for the night. We found an old futon mattress someone had left, so we folded it up nice, threw a blanket over it and it became a very comfortable place to lay next to the fire. Garet made his very yummy pepperoni and mushroom pudgie pies for dinner and it wasn't too long before we were naked, playing around our camp fire.

The next morning we woke up, had breakfast and got the cameras ready for a hike. I snapped a picture of Garet, then the screen went blank. The Damn battery went dead. Ugh. So we decided to just take the video camera and go on our walk with that. We followed a steep trail down a hillside to dry river bed at the base of White Chuck Mountain. We walked th rough tons of huge fallen trees that the river had knocked down, till we got to a nice sandy clearing on the edge of Crystal Creek. We sat there, naked, and sun bathed for a few hours, with an occasional dip in the cool river.

Even though we didn't make it to the Hot Springs and our camera ran out of juice, we still had an awesome trip. You can't go wrong with camping naked. Stay tuned for our next adventure, this time we're taking a bunch of cute boys to a Cabin on Lake Coeur D'Alene in Idaho.

Ice Caves - July 2006

Nestled between Mt. Adams and Mt. St. Helens in the remote forests of southern Washington lies a quaint little camping spot - the perfect setting for our next adventure.  Dusty and I had another weekend off together and high-tailed it out of town to see one of our state's Unique Land Features: The Ice Caves.
We left on a Saturday afternoon and drove a few hours south.  Before leaving Seattle, I told Dusty whatever happenes, "We are NOT taking the Mini on gravel roads!"  To my dismay those thin red lines on our trusty road atlas translated to moderately improved dirt roads.  DOH!  With the highway long gone and nothing but dusty, rocky roads ahead of us, it took us another couple hours to drive back into what eventually became our campsite.  We hadn't seen another car in as several hours, leading us to believe we were COMPLETELY ALONE!  Not a bad spot to be in if you're the ScenicBoys. :)  We made camp just as the sun was setting and cooked ourselves a fine meal in our new Pudgy Pie Iron - Pepperoni and Mushroom Pizzas over a campfire. Mm mm mmm.
That night we had many, many adventures.  We had to make small treks into the woods to get more firewood, each of which was a new and exciting expedition.  My favorite was when we found this big open field with wild flowers and dewy grass.  Dusty and I laid on the ground away from our
campfire and stared into the sky.  When you're that far from civilization, there seems to be more light than darkness in the night sky.  As soon as we got back to our campsite I stripped naked and Dusty quickly joined in.  Naked Camping is the Best!!!
Next morning we packed up and hit the road.  Along the way we stopped at the Ice Caves, Ape Caves, waterfalls, and a gorgeous mountain lake.  The Ice Caves were a welcome relief from the outside temperature which had soared to nearly 100 degrees!  The Ape Caves are over 3 miles long and are known for numerous reported sightings of Big Foot.  One of the waterfalls we stopped
at looked far too tempting - we hiked up along side to the top and promptly got naked.  WHAT?!  We like taking naked pictures! :)  Gosh. what's so wrong with that?!  Haha.  Our last stop was this awesome mountain lake.  It wasn't very deep but enough to cool off a bit.  And when that didn't do the trick we gave up and ran off into the woods to heat things up a bit *wink, wink*
From then on it became very apparent that clothes were had no business being worn in our car.  We stripped naked and spend the rest of the day driving around on back mountain roads.  By day's end we had our fill of fun and adventure and decided to make our way home.  Another exciting and amazing adventure for the ScenicBoys!

Stay Tuned!  We're heading to the Ocean this weekend. and you know there'll be more great stories to come!

Camping at the Dungeness Spit, July 19th '06

Last month I was sitting in Garet’s apartment flipping through his Washington State Road Atlas. I think I spent two hours reading about different museums, points of interest, and Natural Land Features. The next weekend we had some time off together so we decided to go camping somewhere over night. I remembered all the Natural Land Features I read about so I suggested we head up to Port Angeles and check out the Dungeness Spit.
It didn’t take us too long to get up to the top of the peninsula, just a simple ferry ride and some country driving. We didn’t have a campground picked out, nor did we know of any in the area, so we flipped to the camping section in our trusty Road Atlas and found one right on the water. As we drove along the coast and through Port Angeles we both noticed what looked like thick smoke that stretched inland and out over the water. It looked like there was a huge forest fire somewhere near by, but we couldn’t smell any smoke. We turned off the main road and took a smaller country road, down into a valley where all this smoke was lingering. But as we got closer and drove right into it we realized it wasn’t smoke at all, it was a thick stretch of fog that was trapped in the valley. Headlights on, we picked out our camp site on a tree covered bluff over looking the rocky beach and the Straight of Juan De Fuca. After we set up camp we explored the beach below, took some pictures and then realized we didn’t grab anything for dinner. Doh! So we drove back out of the valley filled with fog and just as we reach the top I tuned around to see the sun setting, making the fog look very eerie, mysterious and almost ghostly. Almost an hour later we finished our mission, got dinner and made it back to our camp site where we played with the fire, with the camera and then each other before actually going to sleep.
The next morning the fog had finally lifted and we could see Canada on the other side of the water. We packed up the Mini and made our way to the Dungeness Spit, which wasn’t all that far away. We parked, paid our $5 to visit and walked to the beach and the Spit. The Dungeness Spit is the longest natural sand spit in the United States that extends 5 miles into the Strait of Juan De Fuca. The wind was pretty strong while we were out there and there were piles of massive drift wood and plenty of clams and Clam Diggers alike.
The drive home was fun. Laughing, driving naked, hanging my feet out the window, at one point we even stopped at a huge casino parking lot and had a race to rub one out. Then while on the ferry home, we got to see Seattle’s new skyline with the recently finished Washington Mutual Tower. This was a great first camping trip we got to share together, even though I thought for sure we weren’t going to come out of that creepy fog alive. 

First Trip to the San Juan Islands - June 27th, 2006

Dusty got off work early one Saturday and we decided to head to Whidbey Island for a day trip. 

Our first stop was at Deception Pass - named after the water that flows inland (away from the Ocean) daily depending on the tides.  From the bridge we could see a beach and some woods with trails to explore. We spent a while looking at rocks and walking along the beach, then decided to head into the woods.  Wasn't long before the ScenicBoys did what they do best... Got Naked!  We tooks some fun shots of each other and then took full advantage of the woods and our seclusion ;) 

Moving on, we drove further down Whidbey Island, making our way    back to Seattle, but not before first stopping off at Fort Casey.  This old military fort is Amazing!  The views of Puget Sound are incredible and the fort itself makes the kid at heart yearn to play in the numerous hidden rooms and secret storage areas.  There were lots of people walking around, but we payed no attention as we continued to take some fun pictures of each other.  As the sun was hanging low in the sky, we made our way back to the ferry terminal and on home. 

I must admit, nothing beats spending a nice summer day exploring new places with the one you love.

Caribbean Adventure, May 2006

Every good Adventure Story needs an Extravagant, Exotic, Romantic, destination to start from. For the story of Dusty and Garet, our story, the destination was the island of St. Maarten in the heart of the Caribbean Sea. It was the first time either of us had ever seen the Caribbean, which made for some great adventures and excellent bonding time. We saw some amazing sights, met some very sweet people and discovered feelings that had been trying to push their way to the surface for some time.
Before landing on St. Maarten we had a planned, 6 hour lay over in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where we explored Old San Juan and Fort El Morro. The Fort was Flippin’ cool, we touched old cannons, stood in front of 8 story stone wall, went into the depths of the fortress to the prisoner dungeon and stood in the Generals Chambers where in the 1600s Puerto Rican soldiers got reamed by there superiors.  When we finally landed in St. Maarten it was dark and we were pretty tired, but not too tired to go skinny dipping in our hotel pool. The next morning we met the German couple that owned the charming, clothing optional Defina Hotel. Threw out our 7 day stay, Boris and Michael made sure we had a great time and that our needs were met. They are very sweet gentlemen and I hope we can visit them again someday.
Our first day we decided to just relax and enjoy the beautiful day, warm ocean water and some delicious Rum Punch at Cupecoy Beach. This beach is the only gay nude beach in the Caribbean and did not disappoint. The next three days we had a rental Jeep so we could get around the whole island. We eat sushi at Bamboo Burnies’ in Phillipsburg, the capital of the Dutch side and shopped for souvenirs in Merigot witch is the capital of the French side. Hit some touristy spots like the Zoo and the Butterfly Farm and played at some awesome beaches including Orient and Maho Bay. We even trekked threw some jungle to Pic Paradise, the highest point on the island (1400ft) where we saw spectacular views of the land and sea. On Saturday night Boris took us to the gay club, Aros which was hoppin’ because it’s only open one night a week. We had a great time dancing with the locals till around 3am when we ran out of there while being chased by a hand full of boys waving there phone numbers at us. But not before we got invited to a beach party at Happy Bay on the fallowing day. One day we took a ferry to the island of Anguilla to see some of the Worlds Most Beautiful Beaches, and let me tell you they were breath taking. We enjoyed a full day of playing on the warm white sand beach at Meads Bay and snorkeled around a coral reef in Soal Bay. We even got to visit a dolphin training facility while we were there. St. Maarten is a wonderful place to visit if you enjoy the sun, adventure and having the freedom to get naked and play in the Caribbean Sea if you so choose. Please feel free to ask us any questions if you are planning your own trip to Paradise, we’d love to give you some suggestions on what to see and do. But choose your Travel Buddy wisely; the chances of falling in love while on this island are Very High.
