Paul Winer the naked bookstore owner

[Cammalu]

Paul Winer has died after a long illness. He was a fixture in Quartzsite and a well respected member of the community.

Not very many tourists pass thru Quartzsite without stopping to get their photo taken with Paul.

He was an accomplished musician and artist.

RIP

Bummer, I knew he was very sick but heard he was improving.

RIP Paul.

He died of exposure.

Nyuk-nyuk.

Too soon?

We spent 6 months out west checking out the National Parks in 2010. We tent camped and stayed in Motels with our Honda Civic. I remember seeing him on a bicycle when we were in the Quartzite area. I didn't know anything about him, just couldn't believe my eyes. He seemed like an interesting character, wish we knew about his bookstore.

A true Legend for freedom to be yourself. Sadly not Many like him anymore.
