One fine summer day I drove over to Hog Lake. I found the road down to the lake was gated and closed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The road was open only as far as this trailhead.

While at Hog Lake Trailhead I needed to read the sign.

This is the trail at Hog Lake. It is wide enough for BLM staff to drive on with a vehicle. Right after taking this photo a gust of wind blew my camera tripod over. It still takes pictures but the view screen is dead. OOPS. I need a new camera now.
This is the trail at Hog Lake. It is wide enough for BLM staff to drive on with a vehicle. Some people say my photo series is too focused on natural body functions. I say that having to hide our body function is a big part of body shame that forces us to cover ourselves with ugly fabric. I am not ashamed of showing that my body is functioning normally. Let he who never passes urine be the first to complain. This is the cropped picture.
Got a new Cannon camera. This is my outdoor shower on the SW corner of my home.
This is my outdoor shower on the SW corner of my home. Hot water is an on demand water heater. Temperature is set inside using a digital touch pad. I've got 110 F here.
Its about 90 degrees F out today. An outside shower feels wonderful on a hot day when you get all sweaty.
Here is a view from the south. Enjoying the spray. It has a ledge on top where you can set a cold drink.
I have to turn around to wash my face and hair.
So nice washing off outside in the sunshine with mother nature all around.
I moved the camera so you can see my back lawn and the woods farther out.
I have a hand held spray for washing lower parts. Life is good.
By now you may be wondering what mother nature looks like in the other direction. Here is a picture taken looking southwest in the morning. I am looking toward the shower in this picture.
Here I am walking away from the shower toward the Southwest.
Friday July 14, 2017 was National Nude Day. To celebrate National Nude Day I went for a naked drive in the country and ended up at Fishtrap Lake trailhead, a BLM managed site.
They have a nice sign board with trail maps provided. A gate keeps cows in. BLM land has range cows in addition to hikers.
This trailhead has the usual toilet facility. After a long naked drive it was time to go.

Some people say that my photo collection focuses too much on body natural functions that every person does every day. My thought is that we should not be ashamed that we are animals and have animal body funcitons. We are beautiful creatures and our body functions are part of our beauty.
After taking care of body needs I let myself through the gate and headed out on the trail. It is seldom used and mostly overgrown with grasses and weeds.

The trail runs parallel with a barbed wire fence that keeps cattle enclosed. There are occasional cowshit plops along the trail. Cows also have natural body functions out here.
The trail passes near a pond, not Fishtrap Lake yet. Its mostly covered in cattails and pond weeds. I climbed off the trail to some higher ground where the ground rocky with dry desert plants.

I didn't make it all the way to Fishtrap Lake. Its about 1 1/2 miles. The day was HOT. The mosquitoes were biting. I hadn't brought sufficient water and DEET. I headed back to my car.
While on my naked drive to Fishtrap Lake I stopped briefly at the Columbia Plateau Trailhead. This picture is while watching traffic go by on the road.
