The Freakin’ Destination, Rick Bie’s first novel, was inspired in part by the section-hike of Wisconsin's Ice Age National Scenic Trail that he and his wife Roberta undertook between 2004 and 2012. Both of them have been paying it forward as volunteers in trail building and maintenance efforts organized by the Ice Age Trail Alliance.

After growing up in Racine, Wisconsin, and earning a BA in English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Bie spent several decades as project manager in the printing and direct mail industries. He and his wife live in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, where he is an avid bicyclist, runner, cross country skier, and – yes – still a hiker.
