I’d like to congradulate all the SOBO’s who are finishing up their hikes, or who have reached Springer already. The SOBO’s never get much shine, especially compared to NOBO’s. They always seem to get lost in the shuffle of holiday time, and they take a lot of abuse and jokes as the “directionally challenged”. So, my hats off to the SOBO class of 05’. Nice work!

Dittos to what A-Train said. I remember meeting Keltic and Pigpen last January as they were approaching a finish. Talk about a lot of spirit!

Ha…and I always thought it was the nobo’s who were the brunt of all those jokes. 
Hey A-Train, speaking of jokes, I never got to tell you that “ridgerunner” joke earlier this year.:evil :evil At least all of us sobo’s get to keep walking when all the nobo’s are watching TV or going to “_ork”…ewww, I hate to even think about that four letter word.

They even have a specialty website now!
