enjoy outdoor activities, art, theater, adventures to places unknown. I am not a dare devil but I am open to new experiences. If you are into games and manipulation, please do not respond. If you are not looking for a real relationship, even if it's just friendship don't respond. I am honest and upfront about who I am and what I want in all types of relationships. I was raised in California, I miss the palm trees, surfing and curling up in front of the fireplace at the ski lodge. four wheeling in the desert and hiking in the Yosemite mountains, drinking fresh water from the mountain streams, eating the fresh rainbow trout that I caught for lunch. Swimming in the lakes in Inyo Mono County and of course the fresh mountain air . I have been very fortunate to have had the experiences I've had so far in my life and I am looking forward to even more. I am a bit of an artist, water colors, oils, acrylics, pastels, and other mediums. A good date will start at a restaurant that I have never been to, with excellent conversation. Then a drive to a place that I have never been again with excellent conversation. A walk along a water's edge again with excellent conversation. I guess a good date happens no matter where you are as long as you are with someone that you have a good connection with. Did I mention excellent conversation? I strive to stay finely tuned in mind, body and spirit. I like to talk but I also like to listen and learn.
