“The Magic Circle is what you’re looking for. Go past the water station and look for signs on the right.” Magic Circle? Sounds right for a maze made of rocks.

I grabbed my camera, jumped in the truck and off I went. I found a sign, Magic Circle…and then another that said ‘Attention – Beyond this sign you may encounter nude sunbathers.’ One guest was aboard from the start another was picked up in Phoenix. In January 2001 Naturists at the Magic Circle at Quartzsite Arizona marked 10.

I picked my way across a dry wash, waved at the few remaining RVers … and there it was! A maze made of carefully stacked volcanic rock and adorned with multicolored jewels. I climbed out of the truck, camera in hand. I circled the circle, trying for a good angle. One of the RVers I passed walked towards me. He held down the bottom of his T shirt with both hands, like a shy teenage girl at a slumber party, grinning. “Hello! Can I help you?” he said, like some kind of authority figure.

“Well, just be careful where you point that camera.” He chuckled. “The Quartzsite nudist colony! I’m only wearin’ this T shirt ’cause I got sunburnt the other day.” “This is the Magic Circle!” He waved around the area. The guy turned out to be with the Magic Circle Society, and he invited me to come and camp or just sunbathe anytime I wanted.
