Just checking to see how alone or how lucky I may be.
Just checking to see how alone or how lucky I may be.
I hope to be on the trail a couple weeks ahead of you.
Check out 2007 thru hiker's registry and 2007 SOBO's.
I left on June 28th last year and had no shortage of hikers ahead of me, with me and behind me. Enjoy the trail. And the SOBO experience. And welcome to WB.
Peace

Well, I JUST joined WB and have every hope of starting around June 15 as a SOBO. See you there!
I think your trail name should be Appalaction Jackson.
Hi,
I'm planning to start my SOBO within a week after June 23.
June 26th for me.
I'll either be starting that weekend or the weekend before, not sure which yet.
I am starting June 24th. I know of another lad starting the same day and 2 starting June 25th.
there seems to be a lot of end june dates. is that common?
Im going around June 14, since that is the last week of school! Is anyone going around there? Because i have no one to go with.
I think this thread was started for the 2007 season;
However, I am planning to hike Maine, and Possibly NH/VT this summer, starting around Jun 21. My last day for school is Jun 16th. My departure will depend on the forcasted black fly crop. I understand this year wasn't too bad because of drought however when they are bad, it's best to wait till July.
taking AMTRAK to ME from Savannah, GA.
PM me if you're interested, I'll send my itenery when I have one,
Also, I believe RedHat and a few others will be there shortly after your time.
Believe you me, this year's SOBO 'ders will be facing heavy black fly infestation, high water, blowdowns, mud mud and more mud....we have a heavy snow pack up here in the "One hundred mile wilderness" this winter. It will be interesting to see if Mt. Katahdin will be climbable by June. There is over 6+ of snow pack in K.I./Jo-Mary lowlands with the mountains having more. Add to this a rainy spring and flooding will occur. I try to keep updates in the spring on conditions up here as the hiking season starts....stay tuned...
Do one thing everyday...that makes you happy...
People say those sorts of things about snow pack every year--I wouldn't worry about it too much.
