    Default SOBO's still out

    hey guys, this is lt. dan, i'm on trail still and as of today 12/15 there were about 10 of us in and around the hiawassee area. about 5 people left out today and a few more stayed in town out of the rain. anyways, just thought i'd let everyone know that we have a couple groups summiting springer from the 18-21st. mousetrap, muffin man, limenaide, cripple, lt. dan, waterloo, plank, caveman, boulder, hollywood, mr. nice guy is a few, i think maybe a couple more....anyways, thought i'd update anyone still payin attention.

    Keep on chuggin guys. And keep in touch when you get back. I got off the trail at Rusty's if you didnt hear. I wanted to get home and get my finances together for a PCT 09 hike. If I play my cards right ill actually have enough money to come back from the PCT and get on the trail with next years crowd of SOBOs wherever they are in mid-september when I get back from Washington.

    And if I must say thats quite a fine crowd of people to be stuck in the middle of. Wish I could be there with you guys but if I wanna hike again, i had to end early to regroup.

    I ran into a bunch of sobos on my last hike in NC. Mr. Nice Guy, Limenaide, Muffin Man, Cheese Whiz, Caveman, Boulder and maybe one other. They were all super nice and fun to talk to. Also ran into one NoBo named Iceberg. He was a really cool guy so if anyone sees him tell him Dr. Big Mama and Blue Sky say hi!

    Good luck to all of you SoBos on your last handful of days!

    I think Muffin Man is the only one I know. He and Brown Toe hiked with me in Maine. Glad to hear he's still moving on. Five of my buddies summited on Monday the 15th. Good luck to all of the SOBOs!
