SARATOGA, Calif. - Who was that undressed man? That's
the question startled hikers, bikers and horseback
riders are asking about a jogger seen streaking
through an open space preserve wearing nothing but
sneakers, glasses and a black tam hat.
"He passed me and said `Good evening,'" said
equestrian Sue Bowdoin, who spotted the naked man,
middle-aged and sporting a pale paunch, while riding
her horse, Randy, on a trail in Fremont Older Open
Space Preserve last summer. "I thought: Ugh!"
Although numerous park users have reported seeing the
exhibitionist over the last year-and-a-half, rangers
have been unable to identify and arrest him for
exposing himself, said Gordon Baillie of the
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District.
By most accounts, the man is polite and does nothing
other than run in the buff.
A woman who saw him said he looked scared and backed
away after she cornered him with her horse and told
him he was offending people.
People who use the park regularly have not reported
recent sightings in the cold weather, but they
theorize he may be incognito because he is clothed.
With dark hair, sweaty red skin and lack of body hair,
he is easily recognizable, Bowdoin said.
"He's frumpy. Plain. Not in good physical shape,"
Bowdoin said. "It's not a pretty sight.'
