> Once I was in New Hampshire where a river winds along beside a mountain highway with numerous falls, picnic areas, hiking trails etc. I stopped at one of these picnic areas and was playing in the falls, swimming in some of the pools while fully clothed. Someone apparently thought I was drowning and contacted a park ranger. I had returned to my car when he caught up with me. I told him I was absolutely fine and didn't know why someone thought I was drowning. He was pissed, but nothing he could do.

> Another time I was watching some kids ride their bikes off the end of a dock at a public beach. There was no one else there except me and these kids. Some of the kids had clothes on, some had bathing suits. I was hoping that I might borrow someone's bike and ride off the end of the dock as well. A policeman showed up and started asking me all kinds of questions. I hadn't done anything wrong, but he highly recommended that I move on so I left.

> I was volunteering in a dunk tank at a family festival for a local swim team. I had been in this tank for them several times over the years and they were always glad to have me come as I raised a good amount of money for them. At this same festival the local firemen spread out a bunch of foam for people to play in. I went into the foam and got covered. The foam was so deep people couldn't see me and I sat down and the kids were all covering me with foam, laughing and giggling and having a great time. I left the foam, got rinsed off and climbed back up in the dunk tank. I saw someone come up and speak to the guy from the swim team running the dunk tank. He yelled at me to get down immediately. Apparently someone thought I had been molesting the kids while I was in the foam. I was shocked. I was especially upset that the guy from the swim team believed him as the swim team was composed of all kids of varying ages and he had seen me work with them over the years and knew I had never done anything like that. I immediately went and found the nearest policeman and told him what had happened. He said not to worry, no one had filed a formal complaint, or a complaint of any kind. I was very upset and left and never volunteered to be dunked for that swim team again.

> As for injuries there have been some cuts, bruises and scrapes, especially when working in the dunk tanks. The most serious injury was when I fell and tore my rotator cuff during a mud/run obstacle five k. I have been cold and shivering, swum in and accidentally swallowed some pretty gross looking water. Have had mud stuck in the zipper of my jeans so I couldn't get them off, which is why I now try to wear 501s when getting muddy as they can be unbuttoned easily. Also have had trouble with a necktie once it got muddy and couldn't get it off and it had to be cut. I have had some clothes rip and tear during my mud adventures and had to be discarded, but they were mostly old anyway.

> Years ago I used to sneak into hotels to use their pools. Once I had two security guards after me, but I evaded them. At another hotel one of the security guards approached me and he knew I had been there several times but he said he didn't care as long as none of the paying guests complained.

> Most experiences have been pretty positive though, especially the last few years. One funny anecdote: many years ago, before I "came out" I was working for a major insurance company where image (so I thought) was pretty important. I was doing my best to hide my love for wet and muddy clothes from everyone including my family. I swsent to Massachusetts for a mud football event. One of the cheerleaders was supposed to drive up in a limo, dressed in a fancy gown with a tiara carrying a pig under her arm. I was supposed to open the door to the limo and escort her into the mud. I was wearing my coat, tie and a hat. After romping and playing in the mud I was totally covered. There were photographers there but I really didn't think much of it, one took a picture of me kissing the pig on his snout in the middle of the mud. The next day the picture was splashed (no pun intended) all over the newspapers. It had been picked up by the associated press. The remarkable thing was that everyone loved it! I got positive feedback from my family (my brother and his wife gave me a framed copy of the picture that following Christmas), from all my coworkers, from agents across the United States, and my mother heard from friends in Great Britain and Hawaii. So my "dirty little secret" was out. Couldn't hide any more. Years later when I left that company one of the executives said to me that the thing he would always remember about me was that picture of me with the pig in the mud. Apparently me work ethic didn't impress him. But I was much happier when I no longer felt I had to be secretive.
