Date women from United States / Alabama / Jackson, 61 year old

Date a soulmate from Alabama, United States. I'm not like most women. My job as an arborist has me crawling through brush and barbed wire fences all day. I'm NOT perfectly manicured and coiffed. I find and collect interesting things on my job like rocks, crystals, old bottles, arrowheads, and skulls. I'm a size 8 (medium), and I'm active but I don't exercise beyond my job, which has me hiking 10 hours a day.
I'm not highly educated, but I'm bright and a good conversationalist. I'm outgoing, adventurous, playful, down to earth, affectionate, and outdoorsy. In summer I love to wear sundresses, but I'm not afraid to get dirty. (I clean up well!) I'm a mountain girl and prefer casual attire, although dressing up on occasion is fun. I went to Woodstock and am still a bit of a hippie. I love nature and care about the environment. Although I'm not greatly spiritual, I try to walk an honorable path. I have no debt and am relatively free to be spontaneous during my three-day weekends. I don't watch much TV, but I do enjoy Bill Maher, Nova, and quality films.
Music is a huge part of my life, and I love to attend live concerts and festivals. I adore folk, blues, 1950s RB, rock and roll, old country, and singer-songwriters like John Prine, John Hiatt, Richard Thompson, Lucinda Williams, Dave Alvin, Steve Earle, and just about anything you can dance to. (You don't have to dance, but it's a bonus if you do.) Also Springsteen! The Kate Wolf and Strawberry music festivals have the kind of music I love.
I prefer good, nutritious food, but I'm not a food Nazi. I'll eat just about anything. I have an organic garden on my 5 acres. If you're a vegetarian but don't mind if I eat meat, that's fine with me if it's OK with you.
I've never married (by choice) and I'm not looking for a live-in situation, but not ruling it out, either. I would very much enjoy the companionship of a committed relationship, but I live in a rural area where I don't meet many single men. That's why I'm here. I'm content with my life and I'm self-sufficient. It doesn't matter to me what your education, salary, car, astrological sign, or credentials are; I just want to meet people who are sincere and authentic. I hope to find someone who is positive, smart, reasonably fit, relatively unencumbered, enjoys conversation, and loves the outdoors. What would NOT work for me: Conservatives, hardcore Christians, serious drinkers, and those with a negative attitude.
I'm interested in meeting someone in Northern California, preferably (but not exclusively) in the Sacramento-Mother Lode region. I'm willing to travel if I meet someone interesting, so don't let a couple hours' distance scare you away. My three-month subscription expires on June 20, 2012 and I'm not going to renew, so I can't respond to emails.
