So what happened to all these people here? Did anybody get married, hitched, hooked up, after all?

As the story goes, they first joined a clothing optional camp in central MI. Then broke off to form a "free love" commune in northern Michigan where the they secretly promote mountain biking in the buff. Once in a while one can be spotted "streaking" down the trail but there have not been any confirmed sightings. Apparently the lack of clothing renders the viewer helpless and shaves (pun?) 15 minutes of the buff riders time.
