Mackenzie: In November of 2022 I left my life in New York City to start fresh in Arizona - specifically, framing houses with my brother Jake. After weeks of adjusting to long days of manual labor, I decided to find a yoga studio. At one of my first classes, this guy started chatting me up before class... and after class... and when I met him at the gym the next day we discussed everything from philosophy to backpacking - Jordan Peterson, religion, weird diets, early bodybuilders of the nineteenth century; I knew I'd met someone special. Over the next year we became the best of friends, exploring all of Prescotts hikes, trading books, and egging each other on at the gym. He finally asked me on a date - a candlelit picnic at Granite Basin - and we've been adventure buddies ever since :) Andrew: 'Twas a cold November morn, and I was seeking refuge in a hot yoga class in Prescott, Arizona. As I was disrobing, mine eyes chanced upon an unknown woman. I said: "Hello", fully expecting the cold disdain of her character to match the outside weather. But her disposition was as sunny as the first day of spring, and her smile lit up as she, too, said: "Hello". She had the look (and garb) of a working woman, and I immediately asked her to coffee or a hike, as was my custom. She declined at the time, but her sunny smile told me to please keep asking. And I did.
