An Adventure of a Different Kind


I proposed to the love of my life and lifelong adventure partner on November 17, 2013 while snowshoeing in Big Cottonwood Canyon. The plan was for Cole and Brian to arrange a romantic picnic in Spruces Campground, and then disappear just minutes before Dani and I stumbled upon it "unexpectedly".

It was quite the day with upwards of 2' of snow and beautiful clear blue skies. Overall, there were a few glitches in the master plan, but everything worked out in the end.

A big problem was Dani wondering why we were bushwhacking through the woods with no real destination. A bigger problem was that I was lost. I knew that I needed to keep heading east to intersect the campground, but it was difficult to keep Dani going in such non-technical terrain. She is a mountain climber at heart, so I blamed my bum foot.


Dani smiling for the camera, but inside upset because we are wandering aimlessly through the woods.



The last picture taken of Dani and Matt as unhitched people. Minutes before the moment. I can now smile because I know we are close.


What a beautiful arrangement. Thanks Cole and Brian!

Look forward to seeing everyone for Christmas
