  "It was 18 rooms of guys," Kathy said. "I was the only girl in that hotel for the season."
  She was raised in Massachusetts, and before going on her road trip, she vowed not to fall in love with a man from halfway across the country. Instead, she met Terry - who was from all the way across the country.

  "We rode a lot of chairlifts together," Terry said.
  The fell in love, got married and moved to Terry's hometown, where they owned and operated a 7-11 store.
