I saw 3 brothers getting ready to finish up a week ago up on Cowrock mountain. They seemed really happy to be so close to the end.

I'm sure there are some, but I don't have a feel for how many. When I NOBO'ed in 2006 I was still seeing SOBO'ers thru New Hampshire in September.

A bartender at Big Meadows Lodge told us that there were three SOBOs in her bar last week. No names, unfortunately.

We saw 15 this past week at Fontana. Was there for 5 days doing trail work. They are targeting Springer for around Nov 16-19. Will finish too early to get to enjoy the Thanksgiving feast. But it was a pretty steady stream of 2-3 hikers per day. Had a large crowd on Tuesday of 7 after getting 0 on Monday.

GFog, Lightweight, and I are still out in it. We're planning on hitting Springer on Dec. 12. Anyone want to do some trail magic for us?! We stayed at the NOC last night, and will be at Dick's Creek Gap on Tuesday the 8th...hint hint wink wink.

Hmm. is it really magic if you call request it ahead of time with day/time/location? I thought magic was supposed to be an unexpected act of kindness. I guess times are changing.

What would you like to have brought to that road crossing on that day; since we are now taking orders. lol

You’re unlikely to get an answer to this 14 year old thread.
