Well, yeah, it does... In early 2000, I "helped" a Japanese translator
heading to Philmont with some travel information and planning. In doing so,
I made aquaintances with another Japanese Scouter from Tokyo who was leading
a crew that summer. He and I met in the chow hall before our trek (there
was a little coincidence here) and met again at the base of the Tooth of
Time and climbed it together.
When we met back at base camp after our treks, he presented me with a 12" by
24" embroidered Japanese Scout symbol. We're still in contact fairly often,
and perhaps one day we'll meet again.
There just isn't any place like Philmont on earth..

Pholks,
Pay close attention to those on this list. Learn the names adn cates they
are scheduled at the ranch. Fred and I bumped into each other at the black
powder rifle range at Clear Creek. I simplnwalked up to this stranger
writing a journal adn introduced myself. There he was. Then the next day
we summited Mt Phillips with our crews close together. Shared some North
Carolina beef Jerky and Texas M & M's on the sumit.
It just doesn't get any better than that.
