The Sun Lovers Under Gray Skies (SLUGS) (Web site SlimeTrail.org) is a naturist travel and events club located in the Puget Sound area in the State of Washington. Most of its members live in the greater Puget Sound area, plus members from across Washington State, and from Vancouver, B.C. to Oregon. Their activities cover all of these areas, and occasionally longer trips to destinations in California, Idaho, Canada or other parts of the country. The SLUGS were originally founded in 1993 and later incorporated as a non-profit corporation in 1998. The SLUGS are a "non-landed" club - meaning that it does not own property such as a nudist campground or resort might. Instead, the SLUGS travel to various locations - either on private land or on public land - for their events.
