Dana and Zach met in their junior and senior year respectively in college at SUNY Cortland. They sat next to each other at a student council training, started talking after the training ended, and quickly became friends. Dana studied abroad in London her the following semester and Zach planned to go to grad school in Florida. Zach's plans changed and he decide to postpone grad school. Dana and Zach started dating once she got back from London and throughout her senior year in college. Zach got into PT school in Colorado and Dana took a leap of faith and went with! And their adventure continues!
On a weekend trip to Breckenridge Zach took Dana mountain biking for the first time and planned to hike Mt. Quandary, their first hike after moving to Colorado. There was some bad storms predicted on Sunday, so they got up early to try to make the hike. Very close to the top, some dense clouds rolled in and they had to go back down. Zach came up with a quick backup plan and they drove to Mohawk Lake and hiked up.
