[pct-l] May 29 SOBO

[Andrea Dinsmore]

Our first hikers SOBO every year leave the border close to or right after
June 15th.  If you are planning to SOBO you might get in touch with some of
those hikers on the SOBO list I sent you. It's better to go in numbers than
by yourself. Especially in the North Cascades. Check out the SOBO PCT page
on Face Book. The PCT Class 2014 has the list of NOBO and SOBO.
