A crew from my troop back home arrived yesterday morning. After months of preparation, they're ready to hit the trail on a 10-day excursion in the Philmont backcountry. For the first two days they will have a ranger to teach them the ropes. After that, it's all up to Jake (the crew leader) and the rest of the crew.
I had the opportunity to eat a few meals with them before they left. We went to the opening campfire program and I showed them around base camp. It brings back memories of the first time I came to Philmont in 2008. Hope they do alright-- they will. I'll see if I can hike with them for a few days before they come back.
