[pct-l] SOBO

[Rod Belshee]

Another consideration SOBO is day length.

NOBO is usually between the Spring and Fall Equinoxes, meaning daylight is 
12 to nearly 15 hours.

SOBO starts closer to the Summer Solstice and finishes after the Fall 
Equinox, meaning the days start long but just keep getting shorter and night 
time approaches 14 hours by Nov in the South.  That's either a long time in 
the tent, or working in the dark for camp set up and camp break , maybe even 
breakfast and dinner.  The daylight extremes in the South are less than 
North (e.g. Nov 15 has 9:23 of daylight at the north end, and 10:16 at the 
south end) so that helps mitigate it somewhat.

Just something to think about.
