Solemates — Lessons on Life, Love and
Marriage from the Appalachian Trail

Randy Motz & Georgia Harris
(aka “Windtalker” and “Mom”)

What happens when a middle-aged couple with no previous backpacking experience decides to put both themselves and their fourteen-year marriage to the test and spends six months hiking the 2,175-mile long Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia in one continuous hike? Will their motto of "Quitting is not an option" be a blessing or a curse? Will the trials of living in the wilderness bring them closer together or become a recipe for marital disaster? "Solemates – Lessons on Life, Love and Marriage from the Appalachian Trail" is not the standard day-to-day chronicle of life on the trail. It is a candid, introspective and oftentimes humorous look at the unique challenges and rewards of taking on such a difficult and life-changing adventure as a married couple, and the range of emotions that surface because of it.

The book, 368 pages, is available online at amazon.com







The Walk — Reflections on Life & Faith
from the Appalachian Trail

Randy Motz & Georgia Harris
(aka “Windtalker” and “Mom”)

In "The Walk – Reflections on Life & Faith from the Appalachian Trail," the authors use stories from their own thru-hike, scripture passages, inspirational quotes, and words of wisdom from Native Americans, to draw the many parallels between walking the trail and a "walk of faith." Focusing on such themes as following the path, prayer, perseverance, praise, humility, simplicity and service, the authors describe, in a unique, relevant, and easy-to-understand way, how life on the trail mirrors a spiritual life.

The book, 154 pages, is available from amazon.com.
