I am active, very healthy 60 year old man who loves to backpack at a slow easy pace (10 miles a day) in the High Sierras in Central California, hiking for 25 days a at a time (but once a year), and training for such hikes off-season. Would like to find a female who loves backpacking. I am an associate moderator of a Yahoo Group focused on the John Muir Trail (JMT) in the High Sierras. I organize for no charge a hiking group to do the JMT and train people in the sport for no charge. Off season, I like to walk my dog and listen to audiobooks in Minnesota. I enjoy movies, fine eating, and good company. I am employed full time as a senior database programmer/system analyst for a very large health insurance company.

I am looking for a woman who enjoys the outdoors, walking and hiking, and who wants to live a long healthy life in their senior years. Someone who likes good books and movies, is moderately religious -- I am a Catholic but am open to a companion who is not a Catholic but is a Christian.

My friends consider me to have a great sense of humor with a memory for many good jokes. I am fun to be with and am a very mellow person. I am a happy person and like to be with a woman who is happy with life too.
