About the Authors: "Palmer and Hollis met in Greensboro, North Carolina, when their daughters became best friends in elementary school. They have hiked and biked many miles together on trails and roads ever since, including a 50-mile backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail, the 40-mile Bike New York, and RAGBRAI, the annual 500+ mile bike ride across Iowa. Hollis and Palmer love all kinds of trail adventures and never pass up the opportunity to fuel themselves with delicious (and mostly nutritious) eats." - Source: https://trailsandtreats.com/
