My buddy proposed to his long time girlfriend and he decided to do it during Pine Creek Canyon. We took a lot of people who have never been canyoneering before but wanted to be in the festivities. Pine Creek is an awesome intro to canyoneering. It offers cold pools, narrow slots and stunning views. It also great because it's so easy to get to which often leads to high volume of people and misadventure.
He proposed at the top of Cathedral (fitting, huh?) rappel while the rest of us on the bottom were setting up floating candles and cheering him on. After some tears of joy they come and we all celebrate briefly because it was super cold in the canyon. I was nominated to swim around Cathedral pool to hunt down all the rogue candles before leaving:cold: (http://www.bogley.com/forum/images/smilies/cold.gif), but it was fun times to be had by all.
Our entire group was using wetsuits, but most people we saw had drysuits. Pools were super clean (relatively in canyon terms).
Congratulations JL and CH!
