Slugger, best of luck on your hike. Please do us all a favor and avoid dunking your head in the water sources from here on out. https://picasaweb.google.com/Matthew...65511423316322

I'm sure it felt good at the time but it's not very considerate of those drinking from that source after you.

Much appreciated!

kreate...you will not be alone....july is prime time in the wilderness as a lot of youth groups and others use the area...defintely have your own shelter.....leans to's are usually full...i'm heading sobo on july 11th....have a great hike

Looks like I'm joining the southbounders this year. Bama and I were supposed to hike the CDT begining July 1st. But he bailed out leaving me very discombobulated. I need to hike, I'm prepped to hike, so I will be southbounding with my dog, Jett. I did a NOBO thru after graduating highschool, so I guess a southbound thru after college kinda makes sense... See yall on July 1st!~ TT

A buddy of mine and I are SOBO 11 as well hoping to head out between June 22nd and June 29th.. I decided to go SOBO because of timing, my lease ran out June 1st in Virginia and I also liked the idea of hiking with less people. Plus I grew up in the Whites so I have a place to stay(my parents) who are super supportive with giving me a room to stay in for a few weeks, mailing out my bills and helping out with mail drops etc..

I am looking forward to seeing you all out there! Happy Trails!

July 1st ish looks busy for SOBO thru's. this should be fun!

[dillard]

I will be up there in the first week or so of July to start my SOBO, see you all there.

Hi All. I am planning a SOBO thru-hike, departing around 7/18 or 19, 2011. Anyone else heading south around this time? Also, is it ok or ill advised to attempt a thru-hike solo? Thanks.

I will be heading up from Dallas on the 18th of July Leeman. Planning on climbing Katahdin the 19th, staying in the park that same night and then starting sobo out of the park on the 20th. Ill be taking it slow the first couple of weeks to tone up, but other then that I welcome all the company I can get! Hope to see ya there.

TrailPossum, I am doing the exact same thing as you, only one day later (summitting the 20th, staying at the park that night and then heading south on the 21st). I too want to take it easy at first and avoid injury. I hope we run into each other. Best of luck to you.
