[at-l] Hiking and Divorce

[giniajim]

I met a couple on the trail a few days ago.  The husband was with some 
friends doing some training.  The wife, who I chatted with a bit, was very 
happy to be serving as "shuttle" for them.  When the husband retires, he's 
planning to try a thru, and the wife was very happy about shuttling along 
the way.  Sounds like a marriage made in heaven to me!! :)
