About Me

What's there to say? I love the outdoors and nature. Any day spent outside is a good day. I have traded Yosemite for the beach. Funny. When I'm at one, I miss the other. I need to work on that.
I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

My Interests

Hiking, Camping, Backpacking, Photography, Snowboarding, Kayaking, Geocaching, Mountain Biking, Rock Hunting, Gold Panning, Renaissance/Celtic Faires, Coin Collecting, Alice in Wonderland (non-Disney version), Modern and Vintage toys, Fine Art
I love road trips (I strongly dislike to fly. I prefer to travel by ground.)
I enjoy all things Irish and Scottish. It's in my blood. Guinness for breakfast. I'm brave enough to wear a kilt at any time. Regimental? Find out for yourself.

Well, I already found the girl of my dreams, so I'm just looking for friends.
