My buddy and I are closing in on the beginning of our 2011 SOBO thru-hike, but there is still one thing I would like to be fore-warned of before we head out.
We chose to do a SOBO hike due to schedule compatibility and the fact that we would finish nearer to our home in North Carolina. We heard about how less crowed a SOBO hike is compared to a NOBO, but I'm wondering; just how isolated are we going to be? Should we expect a consistent hand full of fellow hikers or are we heading for a ghost town on the trail?
One of the things we are both looking forward to on our hike is meeting some cool new people, so any help here would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
