The nudist resort wars at California's Olive Dell Ranch have escalated to the point that the new owners have been accused of cutting residents' power.

Back in September, there were rumblings coming out of the community that the new owners had decidedto ruin the clothing-free paradise.

The nudists, who call the Olive Dell Ranch their home, received a letter from them stating that clothing would be required at all times in the resort.

They raised their living expenses and, according to the residents, let their beautiful naked paradise fall into a state of disrepair.

They weren’t about to sit back, put their clothes on, and let the community they love, which has been welcoming nudists since 1952, lose its roots.

They filed a lawsuit against the new owners and many vowed to stay and fight the good fight. One resident said at the time, "I’m going to stay here till the very end. I’m scared. I don’t know what’s going to happen."

That inspiring spirit is being tested. The owners have upped the stakes and have allegedly cut power for residents who refuse to wear clothes.
