Soultrek, 54

Tech Geek with a Hiking problem. I love the outdoors and hiking has become this once soldier and semi pro football players only adventure and motivation to live healthy. Not perfect or obsessive but I work hard at it. Hiking helps keep me centered and simply put, "well". I hope to find a woman that has the same passion. I would love someone looking to do several thru hikes a year. Sections of the AT and other National or State parks are where I love to go. I plan to Kayak next Spring and do a Kayak Camping trip as soon as I am confident enough and can find a group to tag a long or lead eventually. Oh and yes, I am a romantic guy, but at this point in life I really want to settle with someone that shares the same values on the environment, social issues. It would be HUGE if you were into the so called "Tiny Home" movement. I don't like to think of them as tiny. I like to think of them as all you need.

"Man must be mad conscious of his origin as a child of Nature. Brought into right relationship with the wilderness he would see that he was not a separate entity endowed with the divine right to subdue his fellow creatures and destroy the common heritage, but rather an integral part of a harmonious whole. He would see that his appropriation of earth's resources beyond his personal needs would only bring imbalance and beget ultimate loss and poverty for all."
