[philmont] Back from Philmont, trek #12

To make matters worse, Trek 12 (old 26) visited both camps. The one I'm
talking about, is the former, Comanche Camp not Comanche Peak Camp.

Comanche Camp was relocated early in the 2006 season from its spot along the
Rayado to a spot up the Hill off the Trail to Red Hills. No cow pies
there, but quite a hump at the end of a long day ... and to get water.

  Philpholks: I think we've been talking about two different Comanches on
this thread. I think the one Kim originally referenced is on the Rayado
between Porcupine and Clear Creek, just short of the trail up Comanche Creek
to Red Hills.

  Although the creek and its undercut banks and wily trout are very nice, I
think I'd have to rate Comanche camp as my least favorite camp from Autumn
Adventure 2003. The place was carpeted with cowflops just begging to be
rehydrated by the afternoon rain, which lasted into the night. The evening
groundfog, pushed by a brisk wind, coupled with the "flow-thru" ventilation
system of my single wall Zeus 2 was very interesting. Moisture, while
visibly flowing through the tent, did not condense on fabric, such as the
sleeping bag or tent wall, but did settle on any exposed skin surface.
Unique.

  We were pleased the next day to pass the cattle gate on the way to Red
Hills and leave the cowflops behind.

  The "other" Comanche is actually Comanche Peak camp, between Thunder Ridge
and Mt. Phillips camp.
