What started as a venture for unforgettable views became the start of a life-long adventure. Lauren and Michael set off to hike Old Rag Mountain -- the rock scramble, not the fire road -- in the company of a few close friends. There were several close calls on the way up the mountain, including but not limited to: ominous weather, minor injury, and near loss of personal belongings (including the ring). The 11 mile trek through 2,400 ft elevation change culminated in Michael getting down on one knee at the summit.
