SOBO Journal Recommendations Erwin - Springer

[Rightfoot]

Can anyone recommend a good SOBO journal? I am particularly interested in the section from Erwin to Springer.

Regards

I'll look for the link, but there's a great journal by a SOBO that got caught in the Smokies during the Hurricane Sandy blizzard. You can read the portion from Erwin to Springer. His journal, which can be found on Trail Journals.com, is very interesting.

I haven't found the link I'm looking for yet, but this one (2012 SOBO) looks good too: http://www.trailjournals.com/entry.cfm?trailname=14274

All are SOBO thru-hike completers, so they did the section you are asking about, and all are also over 50 years old like you and me (if that makes any difference to you).

Map Man, thanks for bringing up the over 50 thing! If we had only had the information available on this website when we were 19. My borrowed and stolen from the library GA AT Guide from the 1970's was missing a third of the pages when I hiked GA in 82. If I had only known!
