About Me

I'm 62 years old, single and ready to mingle. 5'8" with a full beard. I'm fully vaxxed and boosted and ready to leave my cave and face the world again. I once was a strenuous hiker (as per the GO ratings) but I've lowered myself to moderate due to knee issues. (I had a full knee replacement in January 2022) Instead of working on my 4000 footers (of which I've done 43 out of 48) I'm working on my 2000 footers. And it's good ! I'd love to find a guy to hike with, explore with, and, yes maybe even play with. Give me a shout if you're in the area. As of Jun 2023 I'm back in Vermont (Burlington area) and never leaving again. Give me a shout if you're in the area. on. Say hi!

Favorite Places

The entire state of Vermont, but especially Burlington and the Champlain Valley. Rock River for skinnydipping and making friends in the woods is a summer ritual. Ogunquit Maine is another favorite spot. Really anywhere in Maine is a favorite spot ! And I love to pick wild berries, whether they be blue or black or rasp, so find me a berry patch and I'm happy.

Outdoor Experience

I'm now a moderate hiker rather then strenuous. Knee troubles have curtailed any big hikes for now. My 4000 footers have become 2000 and 3000 foot hikes, and it's fine with me. I just like being outdoors and working to a nice view. All good things. Also rail-trail biking, urban exploration, and just a nice walk. Join me!
