Philmont trekking

[StepChld]

Just heard from my son and he's back in base camp w/ his crew. The just did an 82 mile "Super Strenuous" trek and he says they all did great and had zero problems. I'm really, really relieved considering his only other time to backpack was a 5 mile trip he and I took two years ago. :shock: Can hardly wait for him to get back to the home...I'm so proud!

Where is that ? there is a Philmont ranch here in N.M. just little ways from my cabin in Angelfire.

Yep, Philmont Scout Ranch near Cimmeron, N.M. (the Mecca of Boy Scouts) :wink:

Very cool, I did that hike back when I was 16 or 17.
