Questions for sobo's

[dragonfeet]

I left out of springer on apr 2 but an injury put me out 8 miles past Neels Gap. I am healing well and still have all my finances for a thru. I have decided to change to a sobo on july 1st, but I am a southern boy and don't know a damn thing about that yankee weather up there in Maine so I have a few questions.
1. Clothing- for an april start in the south I brought a Poly layer, fleece layer a wind layer and rain layer. Is this too many clothes for july in Maine?
2. Sleeping bag- I used a 25 degree bag should I switch to a 45.
3. Is there a sobo Thru Hikers Companion or should I just read mine backwards?

It kind of depends where you intend to spend the month of June.

Go for it. Bring the same bag, and most of the clothing. Don't forget Deet.
