Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry that I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Robert Frost 1920

I am very active and seek the same. Especially the outdoors and hiking in particular. I want someone who makes me feel alive. Creative types and self starters are a plus. I'm not averse to shorter term or less serious relationships right now. Quite frankly, the search for my true love keeps getting dashed on the rocks and a temporary port in the storm would be welcome. My ultimate goal is to find the one who I can't wait to see again- the one who I will wake up thinking about, even if the pillow next to me is vacant.

I've reached a secure and successful point in my working career. And I have no debts. I have set down deep roots and own property. I have friends and family who help fill my days and evenings with who I could never part with. The missing piece is that special lover.

hiking, caring for family and pets, making things grow, writing poetry and short stories, finding common ground with someone I really like

My face

I like all kinds of movies but appreciate classic films the most
Favorite authors : Steinbeck and Robert Frost
Music: Rock and Roll but like older country and folk too
Food: Oh well I'll eat about anything.

I've learned to do without most things, or at least learned not to depend on them.
The only constant without which I would truly feel the lack is my family, who I love, and the place where I was born.

how lucky I am to have had the people, experiences, and opportunities that I have had in my life (I have no regrets),
human nature (what makes people tick),
the natural world,
politics and the direction of the country,
world events,
history,
conservation,
what will be my next poem or short story,
when am I getting laid next

Packing for a hike

Check out the sex questions. In order to see how I answered them, you have to answer them too. Don't be chicken now.

you find me attractive and would consider sleeping with me.
I am companionable, can find common ground with most anyone, and value friendship, but I am looking for an "adult" relationship with a healthy physical component.

I also want hiking partners, friends to listen to live music with, those who are up for road trips, and those looking to have adventures. If you are into these things then platonic friends will do. But expect that I'll be seeing other people for sure.
