About this ebook
The full-time RV life, with a naked twist.
In 2015, an Arizona couple embarked on a multi-year road trip, working and living on the road while crisscrossing the United States in a 34-foot motorhome. But did they follow the dreams of normal RVers, ticking off a bucket list of national parks, Civil War battlefields and KOA campgrounds?
No. They dreamed of going off the beaten track in a different way. They launched onto the road less traveled and less clothed, touring America's clothing optional resorts and nude beaches. Along the way they discovered such insights as:
- How to be serious when playing nudist sports with names like pickleball and cornhole.
- What to bring to a nudist potluck and what happens when aggressive yellow jackets show up.
- What nudists wear when it's cold outside and other insights into the world of the clothes-free.
In Sun Blocked, Scott Lunt gives us a lighthearted and witty view of their life on the road and in the nudist culture, as chronicled in 40 of his popular Nomadic Nudists columns for the NUSA SUN magazine.
If you've ever wondered what it's like downsize everything you own to travel full-time in an RV, to canoe naked across a lake full of alligators, or join a midnight caravan of nudists on golf carts, this is the book for you.

Our Possessions Had Owned Us!
Our New Lives as Nomadic Nudists
'Ma –' She looked slowly around at him, her head swaying a little with the car's motion. 'Ma, you scared a goin? You scared a goin' to a new place?' Her eyes grew thoughtful and soft. 'A little,' she said.

John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath
I'VE DREAMED OF LIVING a nomadic life ever since I read The Grapes of Wrath
as a youngster.
Now, that's not the reaction that most people have to Steinbeck's sad tale of the Joads, a poor family fleeing their comfort zone to find work during the Dust Bowl. But life on the road seemed pretty cool to me, having adventures and encountering other travelers at makeshift communities.
A few years ago, Julie and I hatched a plan to become nomads. We would travel around the states in a motorhome, working and living on the road, while embracing new experiences and exploring new landscapes.
We made our plan even more specific while soaking one evening at Mira Vista Resort, our home
resort in Tucson, Arizona. We love being naked and meeting other nudists, so why not take a Grand Tour of nudist resorts, clubs and beaches in America?
But we couldn't afford to do that and maintain our Tucson home. We had to simplify our lives by selling it and most of our possessions.
As the years went by however, we just couldn't get this plan in motion. We had lived in our home for 18 years, loved Tucson and were stuck in our comfort zone.
Finally, we made a New Year's Eve resolution that 2014 would be the year we become nomads. Easier said than done.
First we had to calm our adult kids, who thought we had lost our marbles. Our son even offered to buy our house, and all its contents, so it would be there for us when we finally came to our senses.
Then we had to get rid of all the stuff we wouldn't need. Art, tools, furniture, appliances, fish tank ... it all had to go. We had the kids come take what they wanted, and sold or gave away the rest.
Next up was the house. If you've ever sold an older home, you know the pain. It needed new paint and some repairs before we could put it on the market. Just before closing, we discovered that the furnace needed replacing. Ouch. Who knew that simplifying your life could be so complicated?
On a beautiful November day, we left our house for good and drove everything we owned to an RV park. We were free at last, and a bit freaked out. Our future suddenly seemed uncertain.
Yet we had discovered something very important: Our possessions had owned us, not the other way around. Shedding them was a huge step out of our comfort zone. Yet just like shedding clothes for the first time in front of other nudists, it was so freeing that we know we'll never go back to the way we used to live.
Now we're on the road, our Grand Tour has started, and we're excited to share what we learn along the way.
You Too Can Be a Nomadic Nudist!
How You Can Make a Living on the Road
SO, HOW LONG Y'ALL been retired?
The man who said this was sitting in the hot tub at Emerald Lake Resort in Texas, listening to us talk to another couple about our new life on the road. We want to do what you're doing too,
he continued, But I still have to work.
Retired? I wish!
Nope, we're working nomads and will be for some time. At least until we help that stranded motorist who happens to be an aging billionaire and repays our kindness by including us in his will, thus angering his only nephew who is spoiled and ungrateful, not to mention conniving ...
Oops, drifted off into my favorite behind-the-wheel daydream. Again.
Anyway, people ask us if we are retired so often that I thought this would be a great time to share some of the secrets
to making a living on the
