Backpacked 78 miles in nine days around the Torres Del Paine “O” Circuit in Patagonia. Had the ring hidden in my pack and found the perfect spot to ask her to marry me after crossing John Gardner Pass. She said yes!! [OC]
For those wondering, I packed a Cannon Rebel T3i and a tripod for the shot. I had set up the tripod a few times previously on the trek to keep her guessing :-)
I asked my wife to marry me in an Olive Garden, which is pretty similar if you think about it. Patagonia is beautiful, but what’s the breadstick situation over there? Probably not unlimited, so in that regard my proposal was a little better. Regardless of the whole “who had the more special proposal” debate we have going on here, congratulations, she looks very happy.
In 2008 my wife and I put on our backpacks and walked out our front door with our three year old daughter in San Francisco, hiked across the Golden Gate Bridge, and spent the next 45 days walking 500 miles to the Oregon border. Still our very favorite trip.
On day three we were walking into Stinson Beach on the Dipsea when we came across a trail crew. They asked us how we were doing, where we were heading, etc. When they heard Oregon it blew their minds.
As we climbed out of the gully where they were working I heard the trail boss shout to his buddies: "MAN what a woman! I gotta find a woman like that!"
He didn't know I could hear him but it was one of the best compliments I'd ever heard.
