We are a hiking couple and agreed with you. Communications is key.... And it is nice to split the gear load.

So if you were hiking as a couple and you split up during the morning hike for 6 miles and the person in the rear never showed up at the designated lunch meeting spot, what would be a good plan of action for the forward person to do?
