On my first thru hike of the AT in '14 I crossed paths with a NOBO named "catch me if you can" he was a South Korean tourist who chain smoked newports while pumping out 26 mile days regardless of the terrain. If you met him twice it was considered a big accomplishment.

As an aspiring AT thru-hiker, I am excited for tales of trail legends such as Catch Me If You Can.

I'm guessing AT is Appalachian Trail but what the hell does NOBO mean?

Thanks, so did I but got a company making heating solutions fill up the first page. Should have been a bit smarter about it instead of just throwing NOBO in there!
