Talk:Golden Trout Wilderness

I have added this passage to this article several times and had it removed. I know Marcia Wright does not approve, but are there any other editors who would like to comment on the suitablity of this?



The Boggys Pass Trail, (also known as Blackrock Saddle Trail) at the end of Forest Road 21S03, provides relatively easy access to Casa Vieja Meadows, which has several campsites, and Jordan Hot Springs., Inyo National Forest, Mount Whitney Ranger District, circa 1976.

I wonder if any of the editors who remove my postings have ever visited the Golden Trout. I would guess that I have spent more than 200 nights there starting in the early 70's. FWIW -- All my time has been spent east of the main Kern River. Nudity is very common. It is a rare to make an extended trip without seeing someone skinnydipping or sunbathing. During my very first trip we entered from Blackrock Saddle and found a group of older women (they were a lot younger than I am now!) bathing in Nine Mile Creek at Casa Vieja. A few days later we came into Templeton Meadows and saw an airplane (this was before it was "wilderness" and air access was common in those days). As we walked near the plane I noticed two young women laying on chaise lounges, one was topless and the other completely nude. They told us that they had flown in with two men who were fishing in the South Fork of the Kern (or South Cork of the Fern as we often called it).

As for this picture, which I have censored so as not to upset delicate sensibilities:

We were hiking along near Monache Meadows and heard voices ahead. Soon we saw three young women skinnydipping in a nice pool in the creek. They were completely unembarrassed (there were several women in our party). They told us they were Forest Service trail crew workers, visiting the Rangers at the Monache Guard Station on their day off. I had my camera around my neck and, impulsively, I asked, "Can I take your picture?"

Two of them immediately blushed and said no, but the other (who was by far the most attractive) said yes and allowed me to take several photos. It was her idea to climb up from the creek so that Olancha Peak was in the background.

Anyhow, the point of my diatribe is, this picture is in no way obscene and is a pretty good example of what you might expect to see if you travel in the Golden Trout!

I know Marcia Wright does not approve, but are there any other editors who would like to comment on the suitability of this?
