We were off on another hike with our out of town hiking partners - a fit outdoor couple like us (we will call her J and him E). The day started off well, sunny and cool. The small parking lot was empty when we arrived. The trail began following a small stream and after a few hours we reached the tree line where the views of the surrounding mountains came into full view. As we gained elevation and the temperatures warmed, we were soon down to t-shirts and shorts. E likes to take the lead which works very well for me. Both ladies have great legs and asses so it's always pleasurable to take in all of the views walking behind either or both of them.
The trail remained empty and when we got to the small lake nestled in a saddle between mountains for lunch, we all jumped in to cool off. My suggestion to all skinny dip was voted down by the ladies, no big surprise as they are generally pretty conservative. When hiking or at the beach by ourselves, I'm always trying to get my wife to join me in stripping right down. Occasionally she does but more often than not elects to keep some of her clothes on, worried that someone will come by.
On the way back to the car, my wife and E got a little bit ahead of J and I. As we were walking, J told me quietly how great it was to jump in the lake and how she kind of wished she could have jumped in with no clothes on but she knew what my wife would say and went with it. I told her I would have liked that as she has a great body and how I would have enjoyed seeing her naked. I was pleasantly surprised when she said she was thinking the same of me. In all our years of camping and hiking together, this was the first time either of us had admitted this.
