I'm sure there are some, but I don't have a feel for how many. When I NOBO'ed in 2006 I was still seeing SOBO'ers thru New Hampshire in September.

We saw 15 this past week at Fontana. Was there for 5 days doing trail work. They are targeting Springer for around Nov 16-19. Will finish too early to get to enjoy the Thanksgiving feast. But it was a pretty steady stream of 2-3 hikers per day. Had a large crowd on Tuesday of 7 after getting 0 on Monday.
