About me:
: Recently moved to South
Florida (Palm Beach County)
from Boston. Looking to
meet
new outdoorsy friends, and to
find hiking venues in flat, flat
Florida.
Hablo castellano, un peu de
français, i
una mica de catalá.
Favorite Places:
: I love mountains, so some of
my favorite places
are: The
Bonds, Franconia Ridge, The
Presidentials, and Mt.
Moosilauke, all in NH's White
Mountains; the
Mahoosuc range and Baxter
State Park,
in Maine; and anywhere in
California's
Sierra Nevada. In South
America, nothing can
compare to the Torres del
Paine National
Park in Chilean Patagonia, for
stark beauty. The photo with
the rainbow flag was taken in
front of the Cuernos del
Paine in 1995. In Europe
the Catalan Pyrenees are
among my repeat favorites.
Outdoor Experience:
: Experienced summer & winter
hiker and backpacker, mostly in
New England where I lived for
40+ years. I now lean towards more
moderate and relatively easier hikes that my
70+ year old joints can handle. Also, for the
last ten years I have been periodically hiking
the Camino de Santiago in Spain, mainly the
French and Portuguese ways, though I am
now considering doing the Celtic Way. You
know, the one that starts in Dublin at St.
James's Gate Church, and where you get
your 2nd Camino de Santiago stamp at the
Guinness Factory next door.
