[philmont] Pizza and Ice Cream -- was: Last full crew / Backcountry soda ...

I can relate to how they want that pizza. I had issues with 4 pieces of pizza for 2 days after Simple Simons. It sure was good going down the hatch. This was my 5th trip to Philmont, 5th trip to simple Simons, some never learn. Steve

  Shane,

  You know I'm all about the scouts making decisions. However, after reading "21 pizzas", I started laughing out loud in my office. After two weeks of plain trail food, I would be willing to bet many of the crew had stomach issues after the 21 pizzas. I'm not going to defend or offend you, I just pictured kids in the latrines doubled over. But, if you ask the kids, I feel certain they would say the pain was worth the flavor of pizzas.

    All right. I've gotta take up for the pizza eating crews (at least for our pizza eating crews). Sometimes you need to see the whole picture before you bring down the fire.

    We do have a Day 12 post-trek pizza feast. We have Simple Simons deliver us a pile of pies to the Welcome Center and we eat right there. In 2005, we ate 21 pizzas (4 crews).
