April and Ryan are Gettin' Hitched

First, April makes it back down the mountain -- all 500 yards or so back down the mountain. And Ryan realizes he had a factual error in yesterday's post. 3.8 miles. 3.8 miles.



She calls this one, Self Portrait in a Car.



We'd have more words, but we've been busy just saying thanks to you all for the last 24 hours.

Thanks again.

The plan was to wait about another, oh, 3.7 miles. Out of a 3.7 mile hike. Ok, maybe they had 3.5 miles to go. But April's knee was bothering her. And they were both tired. And 3.7 wasn't going to happen. Bummed, April looked at Ryan and said, "What do you want to do today?"

Ryan wanted to get one good picture and ask one pretty important question.

So he dragged them up a couple more switchbacks, found the right spot, took a test shot, took another shot (on accident), then set the timer on the digital camera one more time.

He walked over and said, "There was really only one thing I wanted to do today, and that was ask if you'd marry me."

And April said, "Yeahoooooohyaheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyesoooooooooooooyeahyeahyeah!"

As you can see, there is a yes in there somewhere.

And the camera did take a photo and there it is.

And they're both very excited.
