Any Sobo e2e-ers starting July 1st?

[RedBeerd]

I was originally planning Nobo, but had an "ah ha!" moment and realized sobo made more sense for me. I start July 1st. Just seeing if anybody else had similar plans!

Not doing a Sobo, but I will pass you on my Northbound end to end. Enjoy your hike!

A month behind you (1 Aug), headed southbound this time

SOBO mid July. Will be waiting for a family member to return home before I can start. Have a good hike!

[RedBeerd]

Seems like a busy thru hiking year!

[Hawkwind61]

I was thinking the same!

I plan on heading south on the 1st as well.
I miss trail life..

I am sure I will run into you! Look for a young kid with a scraggly beard and holes in his ears I have never been so anxious for something. Spring is just about here and I cant wait for the hiking to begin!

That narrows it down

You will have a blast on the LT !!

Scraggly doesn't do much narrowing but holes sure do! Planning for this hike has consumed me. I think about it at work, at school, when my girlfriend is talking to me (oops) and everywhere in between. Feeling quite confident I have thought of most details. This site has a wealth of information that has helped a lot too.

I feel the same way about my upcoming hike, everywhere I go and everything I do, the first thing I think about is my hike. I couldn't count the number of hours of sleep I've lost from thinking about this!

Same here. It's all I talk about lately too. Probably driving my friends and family a bit nuts with the continual running thoughts about my gear and plans that just keep bubbling out.

Any question from folks that start with: "What have you been up to?" means you had better be ready to hear about my plans to hike the LT this coming summer!

I'm starting around the 11th of August, hope to see some of you people out there!

I can identify with this, I remember my first night on the Long Trail in 1994, I was 19, laying in Seth Warner Shelter and started to think about my Long Trail hike...and I was on it!

Take it one day at a time, because in a blink, it's over, especially something like the Long Trail, it goes quick!
