I'm sure the cancellation pissed a lot of people off. Looks like the downside risks were accumulating, and a very negative outcome was almost assured.
Sounds like it was shaping up to be a really cool event, hopefully they will be able to get something figured out to continue with future events.
I'm glad the event organizers had the balls to cancel, it's a tough position to be in. My opinion it was the only thing to do.
I think the lesson in all of this, remember to be extra vigilant and keep an eye on what's going on around you and around others. Fentanyl risks are real.
Some ideas that I would have, if a person keeps there drink with them at all times and capped at all times. It's tough to do, and if you end up getting separated from your drink and going back to it, just dump it out and throw it away it's not worth the risk. And certainly be looking out for people that may appear to be positioning themselves to tamper with beverages. Most people aren't going to be thinking about these things, if you see someone that isn't keeping close accounting of their own beverage, you might clue them into the dangers of leaving a drink and returning to it.
Certainly if you see someone suspicious don't hesitate to report them to the management, most places already have protocols in place of how to deal with it.

The start of something new!
This is a project we are working on and will be available soon!
An ATV 4x4 off-road adventure at the 300 acre Wendy's Wasteland area and a casual Hangout.
A weekend so casual clothing is optional!
Casual Weekend once a month coming soon!
All you need to get started is a Season Casual Membership.
You will receive the casual weekend schedule by email. Then pay for the weekend you want, you can choose Friday through Sunday, or just the Saturday as you like.
Bring your atv, motorcycle, side by side, four-wheel drive or other recreational vehicle. Hang out at the pool, or travel and explore enjoy the sun under the Big sky with the option of clothing or not.
We are setting up the mineral spring to feed a off-grid propane heated pool/tub. Almost like a remote Hot spring! (Wendy's Wasteland area)
Alternate between riding, hiking exploring socializing and taking a dip in the hot springs, all in a clothing optional environment.
Not just off-roaders, or nudist varying types of people co-recreating, different people doing their own thing!
Coming soon, The 300 acre Wasteland area is not accessible yet, we're still working on it, till then we'll do all of all of the functions at the Oasis 33 area.
Dirty, dirty dirty!
Lots of dirt work projects going smoothly so far this season.
We are contemplating a sort of casual weekend once a month, I say casual because it would be smaller than an event, really just an excuse to rub elbows and swim naked. Something like a 3-day weekend, alternatively a single Saturday for those who only want one day of naked freedom.
If we're able to work that out we will post the details here as well as reach out to those of you on our email list.
We are working on a large area for overflow parking and to accommodate large RVs, nothing fancy it's not like the Hilton, just a place that's reasonably out of sight, but easily accessible, it's on the West side of the highway, opposite side of the the primary retreat area.
The area for Wasteland Week is still in the works, it's one mile south of the Oasis 33 retreat, and we will have more details on that soon. It'll have a large parking field for RV setup, the dirt roads and trails is connected by a cement tunnel going under the railroad tracks, ideal if you want to bring an ATV or four-wheel drive.
Motorcycling naked is a growing trend!
Keep checking back for updates!
In the meanwhile I will leave you with a bit of off color humor:
A reporter walks into a bar
A reporter walks into a bar in a small Louisiana town. He's been sent by his editor in the big city to get a human interest story, and so he walks up to some burly guy in overalls and offers him a drink in return for the story of the best day of his life.
"Best day? Well, that must've been the day that Old Man Jones asked me for help. You see, his pretty little wife had wandered out and gotten lost in the bayou. So we put together a search party and went looking for her. Just before sundown, we found her..."
This is great, thinks the reporter.
".. and then we all screwed her. Best damn day of my life."
"Holy shit," yells the reporter, "that's terrible. I can't print that. Here, have another drink, and tell me about the second-best day of your life."
"Second-best, huh? That might've been the day Jim Bob's prize hog broke out of its pen and got lost in the bayou. He was mighty attached to that hog, so we put together a search party and went looking. Just before sunset we found it. Then, we all screwed it. Not as great as Mrs. Jones, but pretty damn good."
"Damn it, man, I can't possibly print that story," says the reporter despairingly. He decides on a different tack. "How about another drink, and you tell me about the worst day of your life?"
Hillbilly's face falls. "Worst day of my life? Well, that had to be the day I got lost in the bayou..."
And back to the serious business of nude recreation:
If you need a place now, try LoLo Hot Springs (Back to Nature Nights)
Or Kaniksu Ranch (family friendly nude resort) are the closest places I know of, both are linked on our other places to get naked page.
We will only be offering rental space for the 2025 season.
We have too many projects to tackle during the 2025 season, so we won't be able to offer any of the short-term access memberships.
The rental space option is a full access membership with a rental space, and divided out in a monthly fee. Details for this are on the rental page. (12 month Members continue as normal)
Check back for event scheduling.
If you need a place to go now, try LoLo Hot Springs (Back to Nature Nights) or Kaniksu Ranch (family friendly nude resort) are the closest places I know of, they are linked on our other places to get naked page.
Looking for dirt workers who own equipment interested in trading your equipment work for full access rental memberships.
Trade your rate for our rate.
Let us know what equipment you got what your rate is, how long of a term you want for membership, etc etc we can work out the details. And yeah, we know equipment operation is expensive we own equipment too.
Dirt road work along the Silk Road, it's a big project, It'll need plenty of equipment operators since it's several miles. So don't be shy, cuz we'll need way more than one operator.
You'll be able to do your project work on your own schedule, you will have your own access for your part of the project. (There is one area with fiber optic cables and I will do all of the work in that area with my equipment) Your area to work is cable free, just stay inside the fence line.
The Silk Road area has a tunnel for access, 8 ft wide by 8 ft tall, not an inch more.
So smaller equipment, mini excavator, skid steer, small dozer etc the material is sand and clay.
We have a separate project over at the primary Oasis 33 area, a short stretch about 100 ft for a large ripper, or an excavator with a rock breaker attachment. Compressed sandstone.
Factor your rate including your fuel, your breakdowns and equipment costs are on you.
(Same as a contract job)
The projects are longer term, so you may be able to start during the winter, or just work during the warm season. Whatever works for your schedule, it can be worked out anyway.
So if you're interested in trading your equipment work for full access membership hit us up.
You also need to have, a Montana Contractors Exemption, or registered corporation or LLC (for liability reasons)
A post-apocalyptic event is something we're working on as a future annual event. A Mad Max wasteland themed clothing optional weekend / week.
The wasteland week / weekend will be a fairly large event (based on the interest so far, and past events). We will hold this event at the larger 300 acre Silk Road project area. (The 33 acre primary retreat just won't be large enough). Silk Road area fits the wasteland theme better anyways. It's several miles long, winding through ravines, drainages, steep hills up to plateaus.The sagebrush grassland and cliffs make it ideal for a road warrior type event.
The Silk Road area will take a lot of work to make it accessible again, it's a road I cut decades ago to build and maintain the fence line, but much of it has washed out over time. Perhaps we'll have it ready enough for events by 2026.
The costume theme is optional, attire can be anything from casual, to nude, or toga, swimwear, your favorite BDSM outfit, or build your own Road Warrior type costume. The filming of the first Road Warrior was low budget, actors raided second hand and thrift stores for old hockey gear, leather and anything they could make to look post-apocalyptic. I would think pawn shops, yard sales and eBay would also be good costume sources. If you still have your '80s punk rock outfit with the spike dog collar, that would work too!
A mohawk, dog collar, and heels is also a fashionable option.
Bring your cruising vessel, high clearance is best, vehicle, atv, UTV, motorcycle. etc, it's a large area and walking just isn't practical. I suppose a mountain bike could work too.
Wasteland week will have its own domain:
But it will also be linked from our Oasis 33 website.

The 2025 schedule is on hold, till we cut more parking and overnight sites. (the last event filled up too quickly). We also have to cut a few more dirt roads, and several other construction projects too numerous to mention right here.
We have rental spaces available, for the 2025 season. (rental space and the full access membership together in a monthly price).
The event schedule is also dependent on the number full access members interested in events, and willing to take part in the jobs during the event.
Current 2025 membership options,
1- Vogue Membership, (new) pay as you go access. (Vogue may be available late 2025 season, depending on our scheduling and availability). Most likely won't be available till 2026 though.
2 - Rental space with full access membership. (April through September 2025).
3- Current 12 month Members continue as normal.
We are hopeful Wendy's Wetlands will start with some weekend events. They're having trouble getting the cost to benefit to pencil out, they own the building and the land, they receive more for it by leasing it out than they would receive by using the property as a mini resort. The access fees as a mini resort won't come close to what they're already getting by leasing the property out. And to run it as a mini resort, would involve more time in managing it. So they would lose money from the property and lose time in management. They love the idea of a mini resort, but not sure if they love it enough to take that big of a loss in both time and money. (It's a struggle we know well). Nude recreation in Montana is tough because there's just not a lot of people willing to pay for it. They are still brainstorming cost and time structures that could work. We're hopeful they will be able to make it work long term.
We will let you know if and when Wendy is able to make a schedule.
Meanwhile we will keep building here at the Oasis 33. We may post a schedule depending on the above variables, and how they shake out.
The show must go on!
George Carlin, Baby Boomers.... It's relevant to the next post.
The Bureau of Land Management operates and maintains a nude camping area called the Magic Circle, inside the La Posa South LTVA long-term visitor area in Quartzsite Arizona.
The BLM has proposed a practical, and necessary rate increase.
The Magic Circle nudist area was made possible by proposal of a non-profit nudist group that works to keep everything ship shape, they act as a liaison between the nudist area and the Bureau of Land Management. The volunteers made it happen, and they continue to make sure the arrangement runs smoothly, it's been there for many years.
The Bureau of Land Management has proposed a rate increase for all long-term visitor areas (LTVA) including the Magic Circle nudist area. Adjusting a 7-month pass from the poultry sum of 180 bucks to a more appropriate price of 600 bucks for the 7-month pass, the rates are necessary for BLM to meet the operational costs of over 1.1 million per year. The BLM has posted accounting expenses and business plans on their website. (Link is provided, bottom of page.)
It's mostly snowbirds that go to the Magic Circle, I perused various online nudist forms discussing the magic circle rate increase, I couldn't find a single person that was supportive or understanding of the BLM rate increase. Many of the people posting were suggesting a much lower rate increase, but not one of them even mentioned any sort of knowledge or review of the accounting documents explaining the operational costs....... I'm looking at these posts and thinking how could these people be so stupid as to suggest what a price should be when they have no idea of what the operational cost are.
I posted a screenshot image of the BLM accounting expense detail on one such form, in less than 24 hours the expense image had been removed by the website moderator or administrator. That says all we need to know, not only are they ignorant of the cost, but they choose to remain ignorant.
These Snow Buzzards don't seem to care what costs are incurred by others to make this nudist area possible, but gleefully feast off the flesh of those paying to make it possible. This is why there are fewer and fewer nudist recreation areas in the US, when these people have an opportunity to pay for its viability to be there, they vote NO with their wallet. These same people have the gall to lament because there are fewer and fewer nudist areas to go to.
To put this in perspective, the BLM is proposing a rate that is still less than $100 a month, a person can bring their RV Park wherever they like, come and go at will, it doesn't even seem to restrict the number of people, they just have to be using one RV, freedom to bask in the Arizona Sun naked, a volunteer group that is working for free to make the magic circle possible, and those volunteers still have to pay for their 7-month pass, and the FLESH EATING Snowbird Buzzards still think 600 is too much.
George Carlin has a skit on selfish Baby
Boomers,
https://youtu.be/aTZ-CpINiqg?si=QzQ5xnM_MGLE3j5q
"give me that it's mine!" "Whiny, narcissistic, self indulgent" ..... Not that all of them are bad, but if the shoe fits.
To add insult, all of these flesh eating buzzards have been received regular pay increases for retirement and social security to offset inflation, they don't mind when their pay increases, But won't pay for the increasing costs of the services they use.
If the Bureau of Land Management were to make a nudist camping area in Montana and give us summertime access for $600, I would absolutely love that arrangement, and I know that most of you would too. The snow buzzards are setting a horrible precedence by not cheerfully paying for what is already a very reasonable price.
Here is the downloadable BLM pdf outlining financial information including costs on page 23 :

The Express Membership is probably the easiest and most flexible membership we've ever offered.
Because we're structured as a membership private retreat, we can't do traditional day passes, but, if you have an Express Membership you can schedule your own day pass. You can get access on an event day, or during a closed day. And a day pass is good for 26 hours to accommodate the free camping option, if you choose to use it without running over time on your day pass.
It gets even better, your membership fees and access passes can be applied to a full access membership if you like. So you've got nothing to lose and everything to gain.
If you're thinking things can't get any better than that, rest assured they can. If you purchase a 2025 Express membership you will have the remaining portion of the 2024 season for free.
When you purchase the Express Membership your first visit is without any pass fees, subsequent visits are $25 per day during the days on and around an event, and $50 per day during closed days.
One membership and the day pass fee covers you and your domestic partner at no extra charge.
It's easy to get started, here's how.
Go to the membership options page, find the PayPal tab for Exposure Membership, click that and pay $233.00 . And that's all you have to do!
PayPal sends us a notification, and we will be in touch. Then schedule days when you want them.
Allow us 24 hours to get back to you, most of the time you'll hear from us much sooner.

Auggie Fest was a smashing success!
No real problems, except there weren't enough campsites, fortunately many were willing to share.
There is some interest in doing One Last Fling before the season ends, it's still up in the air so keep an eye on the schedule.
We will have at least three events next season, they'll be scheduled on a Saturday; for those wanting a single day event you're in luck! Those wanting longer events can come days before, and or stay days later, however you like.
We will have more campsites available next season, that way people won't feel to stuffed.
Toga or Not will likely be the first event of 2025 so watch the schedule for that as well.
Auggie Fest 16th 17th and 18th of August, 2024.
It looks like the turnout is going to be pretty good, and we still have room, camping will be very tight but we can make it work.
Some are using the Reserve or Express Membership, and planning to make it in for a day trip, and that's fine just so that those doing that know, we will make room for them if they get there and decide to sleep over.
Saturday the 17th will be the most crowded so if you want a lot of activity that would be the day to go.
Saturday the 10th will be the least crowded, probably only a few handfuls of people. If you were desiring some exposure with few people this would be the day.
Either way though the place is pretty spread out, any of the days you should be able to find the consistency you're looking for.
It'll likely be pretty hot, but we'll have the shower setups, and the small pools are also filled up.
If you want to do it, let us know and we will get you signed up. We can only do advanced listings, drop-ins obviously won't work.
Still room if you're coming....

We still have a few sites left for Auggie Fest!
Here's a brief rundown of what's available:
Two sites than can accommodate a medium size RV. These are closer to the front.
Two more sites up in the four-wheel drive access area.
One or two sites that should accommodate van or tent campers, near the end of Wonderland ave.
Keep in mind these sites are all rough cut parking type areas that are only semi level.
And, we still have some room for dispersed camping.
These could change quickly since I'm waiting on a few people to confirm. If you want to get in on Auggie Fest let us know as soon as you can!
Auggie Fest will likely be the Last event this season. We just won't have time to do anymore events this year.
Meanwhile, whatever you do, stay cool! It's been a hot one.
We are again taking reservations for Auggie Fest, and Pre-Fest.
We were able to get the entrance road fixed, that's going to allow us to get more people in, it's not perfect but good enough, and we're going to run with it.
If you still want in on Auggie Fest there's still time so hit us up.
Pre-Fest is the weekend before Auggie Fest, it starts with a barbecue on Saturday August 10th, it's included at no extra charge with an Auggie Fest membership. Those wanting to start early or camp through the week before Auggie Fest are able to do so.
Auggie Fest is of course on August 16th 17th and 18th. And it also includes a barbecue on Friday evening the 16th Saturday evening the 17th.
Now that we have the road access, we will have probably three spaces in front for larger RVs perhaps 30 ft or so. We have about two smaller size campsites available at the end of wonderland avenue, and two other smaller sites available on New world drive, just above the pool area. And if you're The adventurous sort that travels in an off-road camping type rig four wheel drive high clearance, we have three spots that are way up on top, it's at the triangle where New world drive meets Mulholland drive. There are no signs up for Mulholland drive because it's still being cut, and isn't practically drivable, you'll have to access those upper sites from New world drive.
Bear in mind that all of the campsites, are just rough out dozer cuts, only marginally level.
If you want to just camp anywhere, and have a small vehicle, very small RV, camper van, tent we can set you up with dispersed camping. And we will make sure that we have room for you.
None of this is on the schedule yet, the new access is a recent development.
The rates are 233 for campsite, two people includes everything barbecues, Pre-Fest Auggie Fest etc.
133 for up to two people for dispersed camping, also includes everything, all the barbecues Auggie Fest Pre-Fest etc.
Get with us to get your Auggie Fest membership reservation, or if you have questions.
It's clothing optional so pack light. If your tent camping bring plenty of padding, the ground is Rocky and hard.
National Skinny dip day is just around the corner!
You can join them for Noble causes and get Nude!
Whatever you do, be sure to do something naked.
