I love showering outdoors. No neighbors' views here. One downside-the airport is not that far away. About the time I get lathered up, a small airplane or two comes over for landing approach to summer runway. I haven't been sighted yet. I always listen for them before disrobing. I have at times had to hurry with rinse and towel! I have enough cedar tree cover to hide amongst if careless. The fresh air and sunlight makes it all worthwhile. The gray water then goes to the plants and shrubs.

If you are in an urban area, build yourself an outdoor shower. Where I lived in New Braunfels, TX there were several garden area ones. They were constructed in a craftsman-like manner and did not look tacky. Some were of corrugated metal with liberal lattice work at the bottom and top. Some were even portable. Most used garden hoses for water supply. Just the ticket after a bout with the lawnmower or garden tools-a nice shower/shave plus dry change of clothes followed with a cold beverage!...or several.

Do use normal or mild soap and do not overly scrub. All it takes is something to clean away the skin oils and funk. Normally I shave post- shower inside or outside. Ain't this a lot of fun! Robert
