Southbound info
Seeking info on the SOBO possiibilities. The best articles or books to read, ala, The Happy Side of Misery, something like that.
Any advice or suggestions will be appreciated.
Have you tried reading some of the past journals of AT Thru-Hikers on Trailjournals.com? You can sort by direction, which is helpful. One of my fave SB journals is this one:

you left to walk the appalachian trail
you can feel your heart as smooth as a snail
the mountains your darlings
but better to love than have something to scale
-Girlyman, "Hold It All At Bay"
EMAN!
Where you been? I was supposed to go SOBO this year, obviously not! But have now decided on 2009. See you then?!?!

good luck with the hike!
I went to the journals today but I am at work (yep...a little surfing on the ol' co. computer...probably see me on 60 Minutes real soon...hahaha) and haven't had time to sort through them. I figured that would be a good place to start but thought, as with the suggested entries and website mentoned here, that I might save some time and get the best first.
AHG...in the process of losing weight (35 lbs so far) to make the possibility of a trail hike healthier and more realistic. Made some financial changes to help as well. I'm thinking maybe 2010.
Out a weekend or two a month locally. I can already tell a diff in the knees and stamina.
Thanks folks!
35 lbs.? That's awesome man!
