The trail was an instant hit, which got us to wondering if such a thing might be a good idea in Switzerland, where the issue of nude hiking will soon be taken up by the Supreme Court. The "unofficial spokesperson" for Swiss lovers of the outdoor activity isn't so sure. But Puistola GrottenpÖsch (not his real name) does see some upsides. A sanctioned trail would give many people an opportunity to experience the "bodily freedom" that only hiking in the nude offers - an experience that "fills you with happiness," he says.
A whole lot of "bodily freedom" takes place via Twitter, as we all know now, thanks to Representative Weiner. Nobody needs to hike the Appalachian Trail for that happiness-filling experience, it seems. Why risk the pokey, bitey, and itchy things that come with the great outdoors?
