Drag queen auction, naked Twister, tripping on mushrooms: these are just a few of the details Liane Eisenbart, Independence junior, and Ryan O’Leary, Manhattan senior, mention when they talk about the first time they met seven years ago. They began writing each other after hanging out for only 12 hours at a camp and a few months later spent one more night together before O’Leary left for New Mexico.
After Eisenbart graduated from high school, she hitched a ride to New Mexico and was dropped off near where O’Leary was staying. She says she hiked into the desert with only a jug of water and a backpack to find him living in a cave. They lived in the cave for a few months and stayed in New Mexico a couple of years, where they had their first child, Blue, 5. They moved back to Kansas six months later to settle in Lawrence and eventually have their second child, Roads, 14 months.
