Date men from United States / California / Helendale, 40 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. I am looking to make a friend first and foremost, but that could turn into something more if we click. Life is so much better when you share it with friends.
I like being active, even as I'm getting older. Since my 40th birthday last month, I've gone stand-up paddling in Monterey Bay with harbor seals, helped put on a 4th of July event at Fort Irwin, Kayaked and snorkeled on Lake Tahoe, hiked in the mountains, saw the White Buffalo in concert, done a museum tour in LA, and hit up Venice Beach. Before the end of the year I hope to see Sequoia, King's Canyon, The Grand Canyon (to visit my ranger buddy), Joshua Tree, Wyoming (to see my cousin), Salt Lake City, Mammoth, Big Bear, a couple weddings in South Carolina, go pig hunting around Big Sur and learn a bit more about horses. If things work out right, a lot of the winter will be spent on a snowboard up north. As you can see, I'm a serious outdoor guy, rock climber, hiker, backpacker, kayaker, raft guide, mountain biker, crappy skier, bad hunter, worse fisherman but I still like the finer things like great food (Thai, Lebanese or Sushi anyone?), a good concert or show, museums, warm earthy red wines, handcrafted beers, dark chocolate, fat rare steaks, tapas, great movies, good music, cuddling on the couch and lots and lots of stimulating conversation.
Traits I'm looking for in a friend and partner:
LOYAL. honest. fun loving. sharing. caring. good hearted. Not too selfish but knows what she wants and not afraid to ask or work for it. Willingness to try new things, seek out adventure or just lay in bed and make shadow puppets on the ceiling on a rainy gray day. Laughter and a sense of humor.
