	There's a nude beach at the Russian River and the water is warm
enough for swimming. I've been there but unfortunately cannot give
directions because I don't know the road names. Its near the town of
Guerneyville (I massacred the spelling).  There is a field to
park in for $1. Then follow a path through the trees and bushes alongside
the river. Gradually you come to little clearings by the water and groups
of people, 3 or 4 people here, 5 or 10 there and 20 or so at bigger
clearings. Its possible to even stumble across a volleyball game.
	There are no signs proclaiming this a nudist area, it just is,
I guess by tradition and consensus.
