Are there any good sobo journals out there this year on trail journals? I took a few minutes today and perused a few but most seemed to have stop updating or just don't keep great journals.

Any suggestions

I'm reading Marta's on TJs. Stumpknocker and MrsGorp are going southbound right now flip-flopping.

I love southbound journals.

Have you read this one? It's not this year, but it's a good one.

This one is from 2004, but was my initial inspiration for wanting to thru-hike:

Interesting Side Note: At the time this journal was written, I was living in NYC and would anxiously check TJ every day for an update. Several months later, I moved to VA for a new job and actually ended up working with the author of the journal at a side job. I was like, "Oh my god! You're TINKERBELL from Trail Journals." She may have thought I was a stalker.

I had trouble with that link and inserted this one (it worked for me, at least:) )
This is an interesting journal and was noted in an earlier thread.

Maybe someone out there is better at Google than I am? Back on 12 July I stayed at Shaws with a young guy who was trying to hike from Gaspe to Florida - I remember he had a website/journal, but that's all I can remeber, and can't seem to dig him up thru web searching.

I've read some of Rachel Cook's and it's hilarious. She's brutually honest, spends a lot of time describing her hiking partners and giving internal thoughts. She does talk about smoking pot a lot, which is kinda weird to broadcast on the internet. Good journal.

Also just noticed Allison Adams. She is about thru Maine and has some nice pics.

I met Allison in Monson - she's one tough cookie!

I've been enjoying Rachel Cook's journal. Very entertaining.
