I did an E2E a while back. Left SOBO the middle of September. No bugs; nice crisp weather for hiking (low humidity); almost beautiful foliage (a week or two early); not crowded, especially the...

Lee Ma. north to Dalton is a nice easy hike , with a shelter midway at October mt. And there's parking at the Lee end.

Second what kevperro says. Im in a similar situation after heart surgery. I plan to start slowly with the gear that I have and add/change if things work out.

I think that time of year you'll meet enough people to keep things interesting but it wont be over crowded. The north will be a bit emptier, But its a beautiful time to hike so others will be there.

I have left my car at he Inn or across the street with no problems. A few times I paid the Inn a small fee for parking in their lot

This is a beautiful hike. And once you are up there, it's a great walk.

If you go SOBO, you wont know that he Northern part is harder until you get to the southern sections. And then it's too late to complain or negatively compare. Plus, you will finish on winged feet....

about the only time I wish I had gaiters was when walking thru nettles.

Mid Sept to Oct SOBO might be perfect. You would probably walk south with the changing foliage. The weather will be cold but manageable. You'd get the hardest and coldest part done first, hopefully...

+1 for the sansa/scandisk mp3 players. Unless you can find an RCA Pearl which uses 1 AAA battery

Thanks for virtually taking me along. I've gone up and down the trail numerous times and your journey brings back memories. Looking forward to the next update.

I'm looking forward to following your adventure.

I did a SOBO E2E about4 years ago.Started the second week in september. About a week early for the foliage, but perfect hiking weather. Remember that the later you go, the less daylight hours.

I stayed there 6 or 7 years ago while on a SOBO. Richmond was a nice stop. I recall reading about a couple in Jonesville who would do shuttles and let people tent in there yard for a modest fee. I...

I, and probably many others probably, have have missed the woods turnoff when going SOBO. Oh well.
