ever-popular “Nudie Rock,” about a mile
up McKenzie View drive on the way to
Coburg and just past Armitage Park. The
water is still cold and pretty high and fast
for swimming right now (let’s think about
how many people have needed rescue
lately … the photos, the headlines … ), but
come mid-July things should be just right
for skinny dipping.
Another traditionally clothing-optional
bathing spot has been getting some clean-
up lately. BRING Beach at Glassbar Island,
where the brushy areas and trees burned
in 2006, has been getting attention from
the newly formed Glassbar Island Nude
Beach Volunteers, who call themselves
a “largely gay-led nudist group.” The
beach is frequented by people of all ages
and orientations and is located at the
confl uence of the Coast and Middle Forks
of the Willamette River. Just take I-5 south
from Eugene to the 30th Avenue exit; go
left over the freeway; left again on Franklin
Boulevard; take your next right and park
near the old BRING Recycling Center.
Finally, in case you missed the last one
(and what was almost the Eugene cops’
fi rst nude-Tasering incident), the time has
come again for the World Naked Bike
Ride: “Less gas, more ass!”
Naked, nearly naked, painted and
decorated riders, as well as clothed
riders-who-support-naked-bike-riding, will
gather at 11:30 pm June 7 at Monroe Park
(10th and Monroe). Organizers request
you come with helmets, lights and human
powered vehicles to “protest indecent
exposure to cars.” They also are requesting
that riders follow leaders who know the
route and obey traffi c laws.
So if you’re ready to start the summer
with no tan lines and proud of the skin
you are in, then welcome to naked season;
it’s time to strip off and check out all that
nude Eugene has to offer.
