Description	"Solemates" is a "must read" book, especially for those couples uninitiated to the ways of long-distance backpacking. The rigors and daily grind of the 2,175-mile long Appalachian Trail has ruined many couple relationships-not to mention a few marriages; yet, the experience has also magically strengthened and enhanced others. In this book, Randy "Windtalker" Motz and his adventure-seeking wife of fourteen years, Georgia "Mom" Harris, write candidly of the bond-crushing pitfalls and disappointments they faced as they plodded north toward a distant goal. Their experience embodies the often difficult art of "give-and-take" as they worked through the "downs" and soared into the rapturous realm of the "ups." They also record the actual experiences of other couples which present a panorama of the problems facing thru-hiking couples and how they dealt with vexing situations. Going solo? This book also has a wealth of information for novice hikers as well."
