Over 20 years ago a me and a friend were hiking in the Santa Monica Mountains
above Malibu when we encountered a butt naked gentleman riding a horse.  Like
your hiker, he was very pleasant and friendly.  I wonder if it was the same
guy.  Tall, very skinny, lots of straight medium long disheveled black hair
(standard for 1978), a trifle sunburned.  Discretion overcame curiosity and I
am afraid I cannot provide any further description.  I always wondered whether
it was as uncomfortable as it looked.
