Where are most '06 Southbounders now

[trailangelmary]

There has been 4 southbounders through Duncannon so far. The lastest being Z.Hobbitt. He thinks that the first small group is about a week behind him. I also hear that within the last week there were 40 - 50 southbounders in New Hampshire.

lots of sobos in NH right now.. A big wave will be coming through Vermont within the week.. Good luck to them all!!!
beater, coppertop, small pot, supernova, Brit, Grit, Wargheyagi, Buddah, Allyson, another Allyson, pie, and the list goes on... All poised to go the distance!!!!

Also one of the allisons is now called Laces. NH was a blast, I hate the AMC though, money grubbing SOB's. looking forward to the easy terrain of vermont.

Two southbounders........

Here's part of an email that Marta sent to me from her pocketmail:

"Yeah, I'm in NH now!!! I'm taking a couple of zeroes to try to get over a cold. Then it's off into the Whites with me.
Ciao!
Marta"

Yes, this is true. I stand corrected

You are Stumpknocker's friend aren't you. He spoke of you a few times. I remember him saying he was coming over to your house once for dinner. You live(d) near Helen I believe. How did you afford to feed him?

Hope I meet you someday, being a friend of Stumpy's.

Good people.

Well the direction has finally shifted here at the last shelter in NY southbound (Wildcat Shelter). On this visit to pass out my Trail angel goodies, I had one southbound thru-hiker: Cletis (from Hagerstown, MD).
Also two section hikers: Mr. Bibby & ? . They were hiking a few days from NJ 565 to Bear mountain, NY. It was a beautiful summer evening. Comfortable and clear. Distant music seemd to filter up to the campsite. All local streams were dried up but the water supply at the shelter was still available and OK.

Thank You, Askus, for a very informative reply to the thread. I will kep an eye out for Cletis.

I just met Stretch and Super Nova at the 7-11 in Front Royal.

Sadly, I could not give them a lift to Chester Gap due to having too much crap in the car.

[Darwin again]

Today I met Super Nova and two other sobo thrus eating apples on the tractor seats on top of Bear Den Mountain.

A SOBO'er was spotted yesterday heading to the Telephone Pioneers Shelter here in NY. He started Aug 10 or 11 if I remember right... I wish I remembered his trail name though...

Also two young, as in teenager, about 16 or 17 were out hiking SOBO as well... Normally not too unusual, they said they had been out for six weeks, and were heading to Georgia... But their gear was definately up to par, both wearing down jackets, in the rain, their sleeping bags attached to their packs with bungee cords were soaked and dripping wet, no covering on them.

The folks that caught up and chatted with them wondered if they maybe runaways... The said the girl looked ready to drop from exhaustion and the rain, she did not look like she was enjoying the experience... They were heading to the Telephone Pioneers Shelter as well... I figure I will give them a day or so and I may go check the RPH Shelter... If nothing else to drop some snacks... Note... They are not my concern, but hey, if they are legit, all the power to them. If they are not... Hey all the power to them in what they are searching for...
