Re: [Philmont]: desert suggestions

My son had his 15th birthday on the trail last year and I asked at base camp
if there was anything I could do to get him a cake or something special
while out at one of our stops. I offered to pay anything needed and all they
said was NO, NO, NO ETC...

We got to our stop on the night of his birthday and what happens?? A boy
from another Troop on the same itinerary has his birthday that day also and
they sent a cake out to them. I was absolutely furious.

Obviously this can be done but you have to talk to the right people.

> We are Expedition 612. Our last night is at Miners Park. It is also my
son's 16th birthday. He has kind of mixed emotions. He thinks it is a neat
way to spend his birthday, but he is bummed that he does not get to take his
driving test that day.

> To kind of help smooth things over I wanted to have a special desert for
dinner that night. Something that is not real difficult or time consuming
(and does not weigh a ton since I will be carrying it the entire way), but a
step above what we will have had the previous several evenings.
