RE: [Philmont]: weather

My son called the other night and said the weather has been crazy there.
They have had to cancel the spar pole climbing at Crater Lake because the
ground is too saturated and muddy to safely climb ( no traction for the
donkey). I guess they have made a few advisors angry, but it is their call.
  He sent his grandparents a nice picture looking out from the cabin to the
TOT and the ground is just covered with hail.

So if you are heading to Philmont, be prepared for the weather. And if you
go thru Crater Lake, say Hi to Buford (aka Austin).

My son arrived at Philmont last Wed to staff NJLIC this week. He said last
week there was a lot of rain, with 40-42 degree nights. It's warmer during
the day and nights this week, but that's supposed to let up slightly
(5degrees) by the end of the week so he's been told 45-48 degrees at night
this week. They had a more-than-typical mountain thunderstorm around 6:30p
last night but it moved out and was clearing up. They've been getting rain
most afternoons but no hail at PTC or Rocky Mountain Scout Camp. Afternoon
temps this week so far are about 86-88. Should be slightly lower by end of
week to about 82-84.

That's all he said!
