We are planning to move from FL to TN. Once we do, I think there should be some good opportunities to hike nude, especially in the eastern part of the state.
If you and your wife hike nude it will be much safer for both of you. People will easily accept the fact your just a pair of nudists enjoying the woods.
When I've been caught I quickly try to explain the same so the person catching me will feel more at ease. Sometimes I''ll joke and say , "washed broke... nothing clean to wear" The joke tends to break the tension as a continue on my way.
Check for a non landed local nudist group and they can tell you where its safe to go nude freindly. skinnydipping or hiking.
