...risk are not only natural ecosystems and agricultural enterprises but also the multiple amenities that people living in the West have for so long taken for granted: ski resorts and golf courses, green lawns and lush gardens, swimming pools and hot tubs, not to mention such modern necessities as dishwashers and flush toilets and the hydropower that keeps refrigerators and home computers humming. Caught off guard, political leaders and water-resource managers have been turning to scientists for help. What do researchers know about patterns of drought in North America? What do they think occurred in the mid-1990s when...
...Well, not quite. Corney is giving each an overhaul. For Syrup, the new look will be "sexy '70s ski lodge, warm and luscious," according to designer Kate Dunn from Sydney's Enigami Architecture.

You can go bush walking in the Australian outback or skiing in Austria (the town of Obertraun is described as "Europe's nude ski mecca"), all without wearing a stitch. There are naturist flights to Canc?n in Mexico (they can be combined with a week in the El Dorado Resort and Spa, a section of which is reserved for nude vacationers...
...glacier-scarred landscape of the Finger Lakes region in northwestern New York is a great place to hike, ski, fish and swim. It's also the source of a number of excellent wines to quench your thirst. The sloping terrain and complex soil are hospitable to more than 80 wineries, many of which have sprung up in the past decade. And the growing wine culture has spawned quite a few decent dining possibilities. You may even find the region reminiscent of the budding Napa Valley of the late 1970s...
