I saw 3 brothers getting ready to finish up a week ago up on Cowrock mountain. They seemed really happy to be so close to the end.

I'm sure there are some, but I don't have a feel for how many. When I NOBO'ed in 2006 I was still seeing SOBO'ers thru New Hampshire in September.
i want to take some in for thanksgiving if there are any

I don't think you're allowed to eat hikers. . .
Even at thanksgiving. . .
They are scattered all over he south right now. If you hit the AT down here, you will see them. Numbers are a little stronger than last year it appears
Saw Flip-Flop hiker Jabberwocky this past Thursday about a mile north of Washington Monument. She was about 50 miles from finishing her thru in Front Royal. Congrats, Jabberwocky!

Yea I see Franklin to NOC being a good section to do right now if you wanna see some SOBO'sOriginally Posted by Tennessee Viking
A bartender at Big Meadows Lodge told us that there were three SOBOs in her bar last week. No names, unfortunately.
We saw 15 this past week at Fontana. Was there for 5 days doing trail work. They are targeting Springer for around Nov 16-19. Will finish too early to get to enjoy the Thanksgiving feast. But it was a pretty steady stream of 2-3 hikers per day. Had a large crowd on Tuesday of 7 after getting 0 on Monday.
Even if the're real turkeys?
