Thanks for doing this. Has anything been done for 2005. If so, can I request a link.
Yours in scouting,

Many long-time List members are aware that I have prepared a comprehensive summary /comparison of the various Itineraries for the past several years. The level of detail is such that it cannot be done quickly when the new edition of TREKS is issued in March, so it is always the prior year's routes. However, for crews doing their homework reviewing what was available LAST year in preparation for making their selection THIS year, it is helpful, especially when looking at two similar routes to see what the difference is.
Be aware that advance word is that there will be "more than the usual number" of changes to routes in 2005 - the "usual number" is something like two or three completely new routes and extensive changes to three to five routes. Don't send back your selection card until you confirm the 2005 routes are what you want.
Prior year's versions are posted on Selden's pages and in other places, but they are really just history. The 2004 versions are now posted at
http://www.troop236bsa.org/documents/Philmont%202004%20TreksComparison.xls (Microsoft Excel)
and
http://www.troop236bsa.org/documents/Philmont%202004%20TreksComparison.pdf (Adobe Reader)
The documents are formatted to print on five 11x17 sheets (seven treks per page) plus a sixth page of notes. If you do not have access to a large format printer, it probably would be best to print portions of each page and tape them together.
Included are each night's camp, each day's activities, food pickups, day by day miles (in particular, this is information not readily available anywhere else), peaks, summaries of trek features (like number of trail camps, number of night in the Valle, etc.), etc.
I'd appreciate any feedback on enhancements (or if you spot an error...)
