    although, sobo sounds like a viable option.

    I thought the same thing, but from the other end. I understand the point of view of someone from Texas, though, to whom Virginia is in the northeast. As a life-long New Englander, though, I consider New York the dividing line. New Jersey and beyond is the South; Pennsylvania and beyond is the West. Deep South starts in Virginia, Far West starts in Nebraska or Colorado.

    Nobody's opinion but your own matters. Just go until you don't want to go anymore. If you prefer, get a job, sit behind a desk, and think about what could have been.

    Your choice.

    Going Nobo in July. You would just be getting all the humidity thats all. You will be carrying summer/fall gear.

    All the crowd is way gone. You would just be running into sectioners at camp. In a couple of months, you might see some SOBOs. Then just be sleeping with all the critters (bears, mice) that are not usually out in winter & early spring times.

    Just do it and see how far you can get.

    you're mixed up deep south starts in bama. GA aint even deep south.
    The only thing better than mountains, is mountains where you haven't been.

    Default NOBO in August

    I am on my way to Springer in a week or two. Heading north into the wonderful fall and winter temperatures. I love the cold so it wont be a problem, the wet might bother me a little in the beginning. I will get used to it though.

    -20 degrees (or colder) in a screaming whiteout isn't so wonderful. Please understand that above treeline in winter is not "just walking", and plan accordingly.

    -20 in the driveway bites. Eyelashes freeze, so don't know if the whiteout part makes a difference to me.

    I'm so confused, I'm not sure if I lost my horse or found a rope.

    speaking as a long term (long is a relative term, it means 13 1/2 years.) resident of florida, were more of a tourist destination than a member of the south.(except, of course northwest FL where all the hicks and rednecks live)
