Georgia L. Harris, holds a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, has scuba dived, raced sled dogs, helped pilot her family's house boat through the Intracoastal Waterway and up the Mississippi River to Minnesota, has a Masters Degree in Technical Management, and is a physical scientist with the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Working in the Division of Weights and Measures, her job of assuring the measurement standardization of mass, length, volume, and temperature has taken her to every state in the United States, as well as Puerto Rico, South Africa, and the United Kingdom; but these travels were always by plane or car, never with a 30 lb pack on her back, as was the case during her and her husband's six-month trek from Georgia to Maine on the Appalachian Trail. Upon their return, she co-authored "Solemates" with her husband, Randy Motz. She is an avid photographer and took 5,300 photos during their adventure. A small portion of those photos are available on a DVD that she and her husband produced entitled, "Appalachian Trail Reflections." The DVD is a 50-minute photographic diary of the breathtaking sights along the trail complete with a soundtrack of natural sounds and original Native American flute music.In their second book, "The Walk - Reflections on Life & Faith from the Appalachian Trail," Randy and Georgia use stories of their hike, scriptural references, inspirational quotes and wisdom from Native Americans to draw the many parallels between "trail life" and "real life" spirituality Randy and Georgia, or "Windtalker & Mom," as they are known in backpacking circles, travel the U.S. making presentations about their Appalachian Trail thru-hike and giving motivational talks that urge people to pursue their dreams. "Dream It! Plan It! Live It," "The Joys of Backpacking as a Couple," "Spiritual Reflections from the Appalachian Trail," and "The Care and Feeding of the Long-Distance Hiker" are just a few of the presentations made at state and national parks, churches, scout troops and professional and civic organizations.
