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

Date a man from Colorado, United States. I am easy going and like to have fun. I'm very out going once I get to know you, but kinda shy at first. I love to watch the lightening from thunder storms. I like to travel and go camping, biking, driving, and exploring Colorado. I am fun to be around, I'm an honest person and looking for someone that is the same. I'm looking for my best friend, lover, and equal. I would like to find someone that is interested in meeting my friends, and going different places, learning new stuff. I don't believe you should try to change people, just learn from them everyone is different and has a story. I want to know what your story is, so tell it to me.. I was a fire fighter for 8 years and fought the Hayman fire back in 2002 for 2 weeks straight. I like to keep fit with running and bike riding in the spring and summer. In the winter you will find me on the ski slopes in Vail and out having fun with my friends.
I have a super big heart, and do more for others than I do for myself. I believe age does not belong in the equation for love. I love to laugh, make people laugh and have fun. What is the point if you are not having fun in life?
I like just about all kinds of music but rap, don't really care for that too much. I mainly listen to Classic Rock, 70's 80's and 90's music. I like the Rolling Stones, ELO, The Doors, and more.
I like seafood, a good ribeye steak, BBQ pork, but I'm willing to try anything at least once. I've been all over Asia and they have some food in China I just had to eat first before they told me what it was. This year I will be going back to Europe for my vacation, Germany here I come !!!!

Meet a soulmate from Colorado, United States. I'm looking for a woman who is well read, but not conceited. She likes being active outdoors and would enjoy going on hikes, and long walks.
She has a great sense of humor, sort of off the wall, and a little outre. She is also at least somewhat interested in ideas and spiritual traditions.
I love to read, hike, browse in bookstores, talk about Eastern philosphies, history, and literature. I do yoga. I am a musician and an aspiring writer.
I am going to get a certification as a CNA and then go on to nursing school. This is a second or third career for me in my life.
