After over five years as a couple, I felt ready to take the NEXT STEP...and take my girlfriend on a real backpacking trip during which we would average about 16 miles a day, near the end of which my plan was to propose. To make it fun for her, and since I have extensive experience with ultralight backpacking and carrying giant loads of climbing gear needed for technical first ascents and mountaineering, I prepared all the logistics, brought VERY good food, and carried all of it, including our stove, fuel, tent and all our camping gear. Heaviest of all was a diamond ring, which I ended up presenting in a short calming in the middle of a blizzard as we got to Trail Crest (13,700 ft) on our 5th day, not quite the setting I was hoping for, but it worked out a lot better than I thought it would as we gained elevation in a blizzard.
