[pct-l] North to South - NoBo-sentric?

[ny74 at hotmail.com (Nathan Young)]

I've only been SoBo on it so I guess I don't have the NoBo experience to 
base any observation off, but I'm not going to let that stop me from posting 
any how.

In my experience sign and turn positioning didn't seem to matter much.  It 
seemed just as well marked in both directions.  If there was a difference it 
was very much.  Besides, getting lost is fun.

It did seem that the NoBos got the worst climbs.
