Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Ridgway, 49 year old

Date single man from Colorado, United States. I am very interested in finding a special friend to spend a lot of time together. I love to hike, bike, kayak, practice yoga/meditation and I enjoy rock climbing, ice climbing, mountaineering and canyoneering. I live close to the four corners area, so all of these things work out very well for me. I can take weekend journeys to various places to fulfill that craving to pull down on some rock or to paddle whitewater. The desert is not too far away, so it makes it possible to extend these activities into the winter a bit. This doesn't mean that physical activities are ALL that I do, but being fit is more than just being able to do physical activities to me. It is simply a way to be healthy and stay young longer. I have recently found a passion within myself to make the world a much better, peaceful place. I also enjoy writing, gardening, making models, sudoku and playing the drums I like to sculpt, draw and paint, and am very interested in all forms of art and music.
My ideal match would be someone that is somewhat physically fit (not necessarily a "body builder," (but that's fine too). It would be a nice bonus if we could practice yoga as a couple. Also, I am interested in finding someone that is sweet, considerate, and sincere. Someone that loves to smile and have a good time in life. Someone that enjoys the things that I do. Someone that I can share my spiritual and political views with would be a nice bonus. Someone who cherishes children and is able to be entertained by them and give to them (some attention, love, education, etc.). Maybe this is asking too much, but that's really what I am interested in. Other than that, let's get to know each other better and have some fun.
I will be relocating to Northwest Oklahoma in March of 2012 to help take care of my mother. I will try to keep my place in Southwest Colorado for vacations and so that I might be able to return when I can. I will be a member on Match until the middle of April.....then we'll see. I don't mind "winks." Oh yes....I love to cook and I am an impeccible speller!!
