Leavenworth’s Sins
Seven prisons and a nudist colony.
No, really.
While driving back from the county fair this evening, Robin (the fudge guru) told us about a road trip she had taken with the family that brought them to a place called Camp Gaea. Turns out, it’s a pagan nudist camp (needless to say, she and the fam turned right around). So she showed us the way this evening.
Camp Gaea. In rural Kansas. Good GAWD! Seven prisons and a nudist camp. Welcome to the Peyton Place of the Midwest.
Considering the number of ticks in that part of Kansas, um, yea; not a nudist colony to be a part of.

Considering the size of the average midwesterner, um, yeah; not a nudist colony to be a part of.

Hey, I had a job interview once at a nudist colony in SoCal; that wasn’t the pretty site you’d think it would be.

Yeah, unfortunately most of the people at nudist colonies (no matter which state / country / etc) are people you wouldn’t want to see naked.
That being said, I recently went someplace with a lot of midwestern tourists and my thoughts were “Damn, people! Skip a cheeseburger or 90!” The range seemed to be from “chunky” to “morbidly obese,” with more relatively-young people than I could count without running out of fingers stuck in wheelchairs to roll their fat asses around. I mean, we hear the jokes and keep it in the back of our heads and stuff but I was still completely shocked.
