Eaglegeni, 73

Although I live in beautiful Oregon, I am interested in hiking and possibly backpacking anywhere. Being in nature has been and continues to be the only thing that keeps me sane. I yearn for a partner to hike with and share those experiences that are both fun and possibly spiritual. Nothing can compare to being outdoors in the wilderness, on a river, in valleys, and in the desert. It would be wonderful to meet a man who believes and cherishes the outdoors and nature as much as I do. If we become friends or lovers, both are important. I am fit and active and want to live hiking until at least 90! I am also fun and an excellent outdoor cook. I believe that we all need to protect and honor trees, forests, rivers, and all the live things that are being threatened daily. I am liberal, but do not share fanatical views. Take a chance and respond to me--I am young in body and mind and am a spirited woman!
