Two Steps Forward... By Taking One Big Step Back....
I'm looking to go SOBO in June or July of 2011
I'll be starting in GA in early March(or late Feb. because I don't think I'll be able to wait any longer by then.)
Looks lilke I will have to postpone if for a year due to finances.
I'll be starting a nobo thru-hike in late february 2011. I would love to hear from people thinking the same thing.
I just did a fifty mile tune-up hike on the knobstone trail in Indiana. It was so damn hot, but I felt strong. I am ready to do the AT.
My trail name? "menochewbacca." (a roundabout sasquatch reference-- I'm 6'6" and 220 lbs.)
I'm a 36 year old married male, college English teacher/poet. Originally I'm from NYC, but I've lived in Louisville, Kentucky for many years. If you want to start in late february 2011, doing lower daily mileage (6-10 miles a day) in the first month of your hike, then consider contacting me. Mature hikers welcome. Sensible (meaning safe) twentysomethings welcome too.
Email? [email protected] Please put NOBO Feb 2011, or something similar, in the subject line.
NOBO start early may. approach trail or bust!
Thanks Sidebackside
It will give me time to really shake down the gear and experiment with food for the trail.
im doing a nobo in 11 march ish with a friend that makes 2 more
Only 8 months to go... I was originally planning on April... Now its March, can't wait!!
I'm tempted to push up my start time of April 1st to an earlier date but so far, I'm sticking with the plan. Who knows what the coming months will bring. I'm going to reserve my train ride down to GA in October so I figure if I'm still set on April 1st, it will more or less be in stone by then.
chomping at the bit too! SOBO 2011. i basically think about it everyday!
SOBO June 28 2011
My 68 year old Dad and I have penciled in a start date of March 15, 2011. Beware the Ides!
Better to dare mighty things, win glorious triumphs, than take rank with those who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
Count me in.
