		09.01.05 Looking for meeting ideas and locations throughout Texas. 09.21.05 Jack's adventures (Texas Singles Yahoo Group Uncovered Reporter) Lake Como Family Nudist Resort Discovered!! While touring Florida on a motorcycle vacation in August of this year, I sought out a location that was heralded as one of the premiere locations to enjoy recreational nudity in a family setting. Just outside of Tampa, Florida, in Pasco County, lie several locations that offer nudists a place to rest, relax and shed the constraints of the “textile” world. It is amazing how being adorned with layers of fabric hold in a not only body heat, but also stress, the constant irritation of chafing clothing and the general discomfort of clothing that, regardless of the designer, never is as comfortable as the original. After a few “U” turns and a telephone call from the cell phone, the welcoming sign appeared in front of me. I was at the entrance to one of the oldest resorts in Florida, and possibly in the United States. I have arrived!! JUST OFF THE BEATEN PATH..A LAKESIDE PARADISE!! I pulled into the parking lot and went into the office. I was met by several helpful and friendly (and need I say.. Nude?) staff members. I explained that I was visiting for a three day period and had thought about tent camping, since I have been carrying this equipment around on the bike the entire trip. However, after reviewing their rates and discounts for AANR members, I opted to lodge in one of their cabins instead. Air conditioning and a real bed win out over a tent and air mattress, not to mention the insects and possible weather intrusions. I registered and was shown to my cabin. CHECK IN AND REGISTRATION The Grand Tour Summary of my Visit As everyone knows, the chief mode of transportation in most resorts is the golf cart. Small, easy to maneuver, usually electric, so they are convenient and quiet. I received the tour of Lake Como Resort by Dave, one of the staff members who also was in charge of security. Features and benefits abound at Lake Como, there are about 300 full time residents during the summer and this number increases by about 100 when winter settles in the northern climes. Oh, and did I mention the lake?? Storage for RV’s, world class clay tennis courts, a walking—biking path called the Orange Blossom Trail, so titled for it’s path through the orange groves that still remain on the property. A large pool, a hot tub big enough for a party of 30 if needed, all the facilities are first rate, and special attention is paid to the privacy and security of both the residents and visitors of Lake Como Resort. No cameras or camera phones are permitted, you can request a staff escort if you want to take pictures of the resort. Respect is the key to the peace and serenity that everyone enjoys here. TOWERING CYPRESS TREES BORDER THE SERENE LAKE My visit only lasted three days, during which I rediscovered how peaceful relaxing naturally in nature can be. Sitting by the lake, swimming in the pool, enjoying the hot tub, or hiking along the Orange Blossom Trail were all memorable activities. Being in the cabin saved me from one thunderous rain storm that visited late one night. The next morning the sun once again claimed it’s rightful place in the piercing blue sky, with nary a cloud to detract from it’s lofty perch. Another bonus during my visit was to meet with three people who I have been conversing with on the internet. David, who lives very near Lake Como Resort and is a full time member, and Paco, a full time resident of Como. I spent many hours visiting with Paco and David, was given my first sailing lesson on a catamaran on the lake, by Paco. He owns and maintains five sailing vessels on the lakeshore and can expertly navigate under conditions ranging from nary a breath of wind, to challenging gusts. David had recently returned from a European trip, during which he bought a game set for Petanque. I must admit the game is addictive and I seemed to have a bit of luck. Only time will tell if that luck holds out during future events. I also had the distinct pleasure of meeting a lovely lady, Marion, who is a full time resident at Lake Como. Marion is also very active organizing events and activities for the many singles who enjoy nude recreation. She has been a driving force in opening doors for single members who may have not always received a welcome at some resorts. She plans special events at the resort and the response has been very positive. Marion also has an adventurous nature and can be seen riding her bright red Honda three wheeled trike around the area, and occasionally on trips. Being in the cabin saved me from one thunderous rain storm that visited late one night. I spent a peaceful morning over coffee with Marion and found thoroughly enjoyed talking with her and have found another friend. It is a fact that people outside the so called “Naturist or Nudist” lifestyle cannot begin to grasp the subtle differences, other than the obvious. It’s not easy to explain, one can only offer a friend or interested party an invitation to try it for themselves. Conversations can open doors and answer questions, but the true test is in the personal experience. No one ever forgets their first experience of accepting and embracing public nudity. I often ask myself why I waited so long. All too soon my time was up at Lake Como, as I left I had to stop and take a few pictures of the signs as you leave… this one in particular, since people get so comfortable and unaware of their unclothed status, venturing out into the textile world might be cause for some alarm, or at least a few smiles, perhaps some envious thoughts too. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Lake Como Family Nudist Resort, I wholeheartedly recommend it. It is a standard by which others are judged. John T.
