At Sobo 2011

**Nest** · 06-23-2010, 20:29

So, yeah. I planned on hiking the CDT next year, but my buddy's finances won't allow it til 2012. Since I am unhappy in the real world, I need to find something to kill some time next year. That being said, there's a chance I will SOBO next year. No reason not to. I can do it pretty cheap, so money isn't an issue. Then I can finish around November, and maybe find some seasonal work to get me by until we do the CDT the next year.

So for those who know me, this will be my third AT thru and I still hate hiking. Just bored, and need something to do. I figure since I am pretty good at walking, I might as well just do that. Nothing set in stone yet, just an idea I am rolling with.

Good luck to you. At least if you are going south you won't run into many hikers. I like hiking, just don't like hikers.

A SOBO sounds good. Walk on.

Not sure how I can like someone I hate so much.

Have yet another good hike my friend.

You could always do my job for a year and I'll hike the AT.

At least your hiking the correct way this time.

lame. If you don't like hiking, then find something else to do with your life. Try sailing, climbing or bumming in South America.

Nah. Sailing costs too much, and I don't have a passport.

Yeah, nothing guaranteed yet. I'll play it by ear, and it all depends on how much is in my savings end of June next year. If I have atleast 12k then I leave. If not then I don't know what I'll do. Definately won't stay around here working though.

I am on a mission this time. I plan to have an answer once in for all as to who has it harder. Both have their pros and cons, and I think they may actually balance out. This time I hope to find out for sure.
