ABOUT ME

im an active gal and love to get out and get down and dirty with mountain biking, telemark skiing, snowboarding (when my knee is acting up), hiking, camping, road biking, surfing, pickin' peaches, potluckin', checking out as much independent music and art as possible. i just got a banjo and am lookin' forward to learnin' some old timey songs in the next few. ive also have a violin which aspires to become a fiddle...im pretty much seeking to meet the good folk in this world and love traveling to do so....

PHILOSOPHY
