[Philmont] Backpacking and baking

Maybe they should add "Cooking" as a staff camp activity, maybe at the
homesteading camp. You check in and get "fresh" food to cook for dinner,
and a skillet or dutch oven.

*****************************************************

They actually used to have it:

The chuck wagon dinners and the Mexican dinner at Abreu used to be crew
cooked in the campsites. But my understanding is that so many crews

        1) Complained about having to cook
        2) Made such a mess
        3) Got sick from under cooked food
        4) All of the above

that they were discontinued in favor of "supervised" and/or "heat and eat"
types of meals. Most of the time even the 'cobbler' is canned peaches on
pound cake not really cobbler.

I can imagine that it would be a huge bear management issue too though. The
most frequently listed locations for bear sightings currently seem to be the
chuck wagon dinner camps and commissaries.

Happy Trails,

Roy Fisher
