I'm going to begin my SOBO hike probably within the first two weeks of July and I am doing this solo so I wanted to see if anyone would also be starting around that time that would make a good hiking partner!?

Hey I'm thinking about going early June for two months. I live in New York and am hoping to start in Maine.
My buddy and myself are going to be starting July 4th.
I'm starting my solo sobo thru-hike towards the end of July
Taking the train up there, leaving home the 4th monday in July
My start date will probably be between the 4th and the 7th so maybe I'll see some of you out there!
I will be arriving In June ... I was just letten you know ....11th portland maine then to the park
Southbound is my trail name... good luck
I am planning a SOBO attempt starting 7 July and then on with the trail on the 8th. My wife will be driving me up on 6 July. I am in search of someone who has a site reserved (I swing in the trees) that would'nt mind sharing.
Partnering up for the 100 mile wouldn't be a bad idea to say the least!
im starting the first week of july also going solo. got a reservation in baxter the 5th through the 8th
I'm leaving July 29th... If anyone else will be up there that late, let me know... I'm getting a bit nervous that I'll be alone a lot of the time
My SOBO start date, as indicated in an earlier post, may be delayed for a couple of weeks to which I would then be departing mid to late July.
I fear I may have caused a stress fracture in one of the Ol' Dogs due to a training injury so I must rest the foot and do more biking for cardio!
I really... hope this gets better before my departure, either way I am still going to attempt a SOBO!
My girlfriend and I have a reservation at Katahdin stream July 5th to the 7th then heading South. I am about to book flights to Boston then a bus to Bangor then pay $175 for a shuttle to Baxter... I wish there was an easier way
Is there an easier way!?!?!
I plan on starting either July 1 or July 4 for a solo SOBO, no camp reservation yet for Baxter.
Thanks for the suggestions forrest! The flight to Boston and bus to Bangor is actually only $140 total. I am most worried about arriving in Bangor at 5:40pm and making it to Katahdin Stream Campground in time to check in the same night before they close at 8:30pm.
Do most people get a shuttle from the AT Lodge once they make it to Millinocket?
i am shooting for that date as well shoot me a pm and we can talk some
