2009 Sobo!?!
Planning a July-ish 2009 SOBO through hike. Anyone else?
Yep! Planning on starting in October, though.
Will be leaving on a SOBO in June 2009 but am flexible. Planning on catching a ride (mining service truck) up from Alabama on the last Sunday in May. Jump off in Pittsburgh and then Greyhound it or train it or figure out some other way to get to Maine. How early in July greenlm2? Bugs and mud will not be pleasant, but after three marriages, 28 months in a mud house in Central America and did I mention three marriages? I look forward to being "naturally uncomfortable", wet and bitten, if only for 5 blessed months or so. Good on ya friends. Fog Wilt
Yessir, planning on heading out around July 1. Can't wait!
Hope to see ya'll on the trail. Its looking like a Aug. 1st ish start for me and my sister, though I'm a little concerned that is too late.
I'm starting in August 2009 too.
I am planning to start in Maine during the last week or June or first week of July! Definately hope our paths cross!
You should be ok. You'll still have three months of hot to warm hiking from when you start (Aug,Sep,Oct) That's one of the advantages of heading South. By November things will start to cool off a bit, days will be shorter, but you'll be walking at full speed by then. Then just be prepared to get some extra warm gear for the month of December. No biggie, lots of people do it.Originally Posted by greenlm2
Mid June-ish for me! I am really looking forward to meeting you all as you pass me.I know our SOBO ranks are small compared to the NOBOs, but I'm still hoping to make some good friends. See you on the trail.
Sobo's form smaller but tighter groups then most nobo groups.Mid June-ish for me! I am really looking forward to meeting you all as you pass me.
im not allowed to say anything specific at this point

LOL Captain, does that mean you might be planning to go again this year? Hope you really make it to Katahdin this time!

Mid June to Early July for me. Im trying to stay flexible for the weather. Hopefully we will have a short winter.
June 14th for me, hope to see you folks out there!
My brother and i will be walking in the woods from K.. the first week of July.
About anything?
Just blink once for no and twice for yes.
Are they in the room with you right now?
Are they threatening your life?
Not all those who wander are lost... well, I mean I kinda roughly know where we are... East is definitely that way... right?
Depending on what my tax return looks like, I'm hoping to head out this year on a SOBO. Hope to see Y'all on the trail.
Should arrive at Baxter on June 30! See you guys out there. Looking forward to meeting you all. This is going to be a great summer/fall.
A high school buddy and my-self are planing a SOBO hike in early june.. Cant wait.......!
