Fresh with the excitement of the previous nights affirmed commitment to adventure into the unknown together, we could not be intimidated by the sounds of the strong downpour pummeling our tent fly. We quickly, and excitedly accepted that we would not be moving anywhere far today. No, it was a rainy day, and what better to do than spend a rainy day in bed.
Chad prepared the camp for a day of rain. The tarp, that many people thought was an excessive addition to our packing list, made its value as strong as gold as the vestibule to our tent grew from its normal state of eight square feet to nearly eighty, complete with a campfire and a view of the rising river.
SH3 to Macedonia was a relatively busy main rode but had a large shoulder and followed a good size river. We were certain we would find a fine campsite along this road, but figured it would be close to the noise of the traffic. What we ended up finding at the bottom of a little red dirt road was the perfect, soft and sandy river-side campsite, complete with a stack of precut fire wood and a trash free river bank that we had dreamed of.
So sitting next to the fire, along this river bank, as the sun was slipping behind the hillside, Chad dropped to one knee, pulled from his pocket a paper box, embossed with two enter-twinned hearts, opened it and asked Jowita to marry him. Jowita said yes and so begins another adventure together.
