Date men and women from United States / Alaska / Haines, 68 year old

Date a woman from Haines, United States. I'm an independent woman looking to be not quite so independent. I live in an absolutely gorgeously beautiful place where I can watch brown bears feeding on salmon from my living room, in my bare feet with a cup of coffee. That’s my very favorite thing to do. Other things I like are traveling, car camping, gardening, woodworking, and projects around the house. I’ve also developed a sort of strange obsession with making miniatures – pics on request. I dabble in local politics and served on the local assembly for a few years. Liberal to very liberal. I like sleeping on my deck under the stars.
I'm retired from a career with state government; before that I guided backpacking trips for a number of years, and I lived in Italy for a bit.
IРІР‚в„ўve no kids of my own; my late husband had three but they were pretty well grown by the time we got together. IРІР‚в„ўm recently overjoyed that my only niece has produced twin boys; they just turned two. I visit them in southern California as often as I think they can stand visitors.
I like Rachel Maddow and Jon Stewart; I listen to NPR and BBC; sometimes I watch Al Jazeera on my computer.
