[pct-l] June 1st Sobo Kickoff?



I'm committed to a SoBo.  I live in the desert near the south end of the PCT 
and the last thing I want to see is more dammed desert flowers I wana see 
trees, and besides I think I like the idea of walking home.

Can we make the Sobo Kickoff the last weekend of May?
