[philmont] Back Burner Question

No doubt that's our plan (to be up and on the trail early), and our crew can be good at it if they are properly motivated. Note: in a driving December rain storm in Alabama they aren't particularly motivated to get up and on the trail :-)

Rich,
You more or less answered your own question. It depends on the staff and the particular activity.
That said you should inquire at logistics on your first day as to the time frames for those special activities. Experience shows that logistics info as to this type of info is less reliable than their up to date info on the water status all along the trek, but at least your crew chief will have some idea.
BTW if you have been reading this forum for four months you will realize almost everyone agrees to be yet and ready to walk at daybreak and walk in the cool of the morning rather tan the heat of the day. That was our goal the last two years. It did not always work out. And every time it did not we paid the price.
With regard to Harlan I found them very accommodating the last two years and we did the program late afternoon ( 3:00 - 4:00) both times.
