From www.myfoxphoenix.com – Thousands of people will try to set a skinny dipping world record across the country Saturday at noon, including a nudist resort near Phoenix.

The Shangri La Ranch will host 500 people partaking in the event in its two giant pools.

“It’s about enjoying nature as nature intended,” said Patty Faber, a guest at the ranch speaking about being a nudist. “The way you came out. No clothes on. Nothing but the sun and wind kissing your skin.”

Ranch owner and nudist Horst Kraus also indulged a reporter and shed his clothes to show that he’s comfortable in his own skin. (Watch the clip.)

MyFox Phoenix / FOX 10’s Steve Krafft uncovered the details.
