The Legend of Hippie Hollow: Sheriff’s Offhand Remark Helps Cement Austin as a Naked Gay Destination

In the late 1960s, Dennis Paddie was enjoying the hippie lifestyle in a gay commune in Austin, Texas. While the house he shared offered shelter and community, the lack of electricity became a challenge during the hot Texas summers. Fortunately, the nearby Windy Point on Lake Travis offered respite from the heat, allowing the gay hippies at the commune to skinny dip at night to cool down their bodies and get a restful sleep. When the public nudity bled over into the daytime and started growing in size, the hippies soon found themselves on the wrong side of the law - resulting in over 40 people getting arrested. The next election, however, brought in a new sheriff who famously stated, “I've got better things to do than chase a bunch of naked hippies around Lake Travis.” Not only did this offhand remark cement the naked culture of Windy Point, it created a new and enduring nickname for the now popular gay, clothing optional destination: Hippie Hollow.
