I am most happy when I am above 6000 ft. in elevation and West of the Continental Divide, an area that covers some of the most beautiful land in the Americas , such as, San Juan National Forest, Sequoia National Park, Sierra National Forest, Rocky Mountain National Park, Yosemite National Park, Yellowstone National Park just to name a few. In saying this I enjoy, camping, 4 wheeling, some hunting (not a trophy hunter), cross country skiing, Campfires with good friends and good Wine, exploring old historical sites, Photography, hiking and backpacking, Hot springs along with many other things that come with the outdoors and nature. Yes, there are many other areas and things that I like such as SCUBA Diving, Pacific Ocean Beaches, good books, good wine, BBQ,s with Friends, Volunteering where I can Help others, Dancing, concerts and good music, Slow Down Days with a loving companion, Learning and Teaching, and Native America Silver and Turquoise Jewelry. My profile gives you an overview of who I am and what I like, but when you have put as many years behind you there is a lot that cannot be said in a short profile so here goes: I like good company around a campfire or fireplace with a good wine, Leaves turning in the fall, High mountain peaks and the smell of a pine forest, crashing waves of the pacific ocean, scuba diving in a school of fish, down days with a loving companion, natural beauty of our National Parks and Forests, the smile on the face of my companion as we explore and share natures beauty together I have traveled in the US, Philippines, Mexico, Canada and some of Europe, and still have many places that I want to see and explore with a companion to share with and make new memories together. My values and ideals are western, yet I am open minded and try to look at both sides before making up my mind, I am Honest, loyal, passionate, kind and respectful. I would hope that this short introduction would peak you interest to start a email exchange and friendship.
