[philmont] itinerary modifications

Re: program features-porcupine camp. Fishing is good at the camp and upstream and downstream. I think (check me on this one) gear can be checked out at PJ which is not that far downstream. Your real fishermen will have their own. Showers at PJ. Very nice camp next to the babbling Rayado. Red roof inns. When I went to Philmont in the '70's, Porky (which is featured in "The Ranger Song") was a staff camp and the program was fly tying and fishing. The old cabin, nicknamed "The Quill" is still standing, in a manner of speaking (or at least it was when I last stayed there, in Sept. 2005).

I'll post later on about why you (or anyone else passing by) should not pass up Shaeffer's peak, aside from simple peak bagging. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
