About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Mountain Landscape

My favorite place to be is in the wilderness...on a trail...watching the sunset, walking in the moon light or sleeping under the stars. Hiking is my meditation and therapy. The wilderness is my home...I love my sleeping bag so much I drool when I'm in it...lol The mountains make me happy and feel at peace....we are one. I am a slow hiker but only b/c I love to stop and smell the flowers...each and everyone of them...I love looking at the view...the sky and the stars at night....listening to the sounds of the wilderness and waking up to the critters playing in the sunrise and nibbling on breakfast....The beauty of hiking a trail is that each time you go back to that same one, it is different everytime you return. It may be b/c of the season, or a fire, or just because...that is the beauty... My best friend and hiking partner, Droopy dog, recently passed away. I have always promised him we would someday do the PCT together. I am planning for next year, 2009. I will be carrying his ashes with me the entire length of the trail. Three things I totally hate (yes I said hate!)... litter bugs, liars and prejudice.CURRENT MOON moon phaseMy dog, my buddy and best friend, Droopy, RIP 04/09/2008, was featured in a great calendar in July 2006, all profits go to rescues. Ironic, b/c that was his Bday as well. The link for this wonderful calendar is http://www.fortheloveofrescues.com/index.html. Check it out!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who are sincere and caring and trustworthy, have goals and aren't couch potatoes. People who have the same interests as I do.I would also like to meet the man of my dreams...if I could just stop waking up before he gets there! A man who is as loving and loyal as my dog would be nice too.

"All I'm looking for is a guy who'll do what I want, when I want, for as long as I want, and then go away. Or wait nearby, like a Dust Buster, charged up and ready when needed." (Maxine)

Saying goodbye

Saying goodbye for the last time is the hardest thing to do. I've done it too many times. This time was the hardest. My best friend and hiking partner was ready though, so I made our last two days tog...
