[Philmont]: RE:Caterpillar small groups

In 2002, our crewmembers suggested adjusting the caterpillar to 50 steps
rather than 15. This kept the uphill momentum going and gave everyone a
longer break. Worked great for us! Should also work for smaller
groups, I'd think (though without working out the arithmetic). This
also had the unforeseen benefit of spreading the crew out a bit
more--they (as usual) tended to bunch up nose-to-backpack a couple of
feet apart.
