[pct-l] SOBO 2007

[Barbara Sobota]

Anyone out there planning a sobo hike this year?  My masters is taking
longer than expected (booo!) and the earliest I could get out would
probably be first week of June...

I'm trying to get a feel for how "solo" I would actually be going
southbound.  I've hiked the AT so I know the basics of thru-hiking, but
from what I've read it sounds like Washington can be quite challenging
when there's snow on the ground.  I'm all up for challenge and adventure,
but navigating by myself through remote snow-covered mountains with no
trail in sight and having to wait until California to meet another
thru-hiker - to be completely honest - is intimidating to me.  I'm not
necessarily seeking out a partner (but not opposed to one either) but it
would be nice to know that there's someone else out there.

Anyone?

Any insight from past solo sobos would be great too!  Thanks!!!

Cheers
Barbara
