Re: [Philmont]: Philmont 2005

Jerry,
Saw your date and we always go early( 98,00,02,04). Staff is fresh, more animals, etc. The other great thing is that we always ask permission to come one day early and they let us stay in the home bound tent city since there are no crews back in basecamp yet. This give us more time in basecamp and to check in ( great in case any of advisors have high blood pressures issues, it gives them a chance to calm down). This year we are 615. Have a great trek!

  Got my troop's notification today but our reservation is at the other end of the spectrum. Begins June 11th ends June 23rd. A little early but we'll take what we can get.

    Congratulations.

    My SM called to say our Troop received expeditions as well. They are from
    August 8-20, 2005, which is unfortunate because school in this area begins
    August 15. He was positive that he selected all of the dates for treks that
    would complete by July 30.

    I suppose we need to start talking to the School Board now about delaying
    the start of school <g>. I've been water-sealing my boots -- maybe the fumes
    are getting to me.

    Rich.
