Hiking after graduation:
I graduate college on May 22nd and am planning on hiking the trail, probably starting a few days after that. SOBO is the obvious choice, but I worry that it won't be very social since so few go that direction.
Would it be possible going NOBO? I could start two weeks during Spring Break and a week during Easter, then hop in where I dropped off after graduation. I've done a fair bit of extended backpacking, obviously nothing like this, and wouldn't mind starting strong till I catch up to the crowds, but don't want to be powering through the whole thing. So... advice? And thanks in advance!
Peace,
Sam
