So, I took my dog, Dak, for a walk last night right around 10pm in our 55+community. As I approached the pickleball court area I could hear music, loud talking, and laughter, male and female voices, coming from the direction of the community pool area. 'Strange,' I thought. The club closes at 8pm on Sunday and they'd usually ask people to be out of the pool by 7:30pm or so. Curious minds want to know.
So I walked around the courts toward the front of the club. I noted two cars in the parking lot, a white Honda Accord sedan and a dark-colored Nissan Altima. They were parked at the curb near the club and side-by-side. Still hearing the voices, I approached the fenced-in area of the pool near the exit door. Peering in through the mesh-screen fence, I could see light and movement in the area of the spa, but due to the angle, the distance, and the darkness couldn't really see anything else.

Then walking past the front of the club and around to the back , approaching the fenced pool area from the club lawn side (where the fence is a more normal picket fence without the mesh screen) I could see there was a group of six or eight young folks (late teens or early 20s, I judge) enjoying the hot tub. The only visible linens were piled on the pool deck outside the tub. Curious. No pool area exterior lights were on, and the pool itself had only minimal lighting. More light seemed to be from flashlights and the music seemed to be from a portable speaker. Returning to the parking area I snapped photos of the rear of the cars with the plates visible.
This morning I reported the 'sighting' to our club manager and let him know if there was any damage, I at least had the license plate. On inspection, there was no apparent damage. I made it clear to the manager that if anyone is skinny-dipping in the community pool after hours, it should at least be those of us that pay our HOA dues and not just kids out for a good time!
