One of the things I was looking forward to were the social aspects of the trail. I'm worried this wont be the same on a sobo. Anyone planning on starting June 1st that is looking for someone to hike with? I live and hike a lot at the Grand Canyon so I am in good hiking shape, but I am not interested in hurrying through this. My motto is slow and steady.
