I have been there quite a bit. How do you know if someone is cruising? Better yet, how do you let them know your looking?

After four visits here, I met a masculine daddy type on one of the trails. It was in July around noon. He was a farmer and we went back to his house and we had a great time. This place is hit or miss. Sometimes I have been here and the place was empty for hours. Pretty park in the late summer and fall months. I wish more men came here.
