Re: [Philmont]: Lyrics to "Edge of Texas"?

Actually, he was unsuccessful, having added only enough to make his
canteen a little foamy. And the taste was apparently so lousy he
couldn't stand to complete the dirty deed after all. He got some extra
sessions in the latrines, and a lot closer supervision from our Advisor
than he wanted, but other than that his misery continued unabated. I
suspect his memories of Philmont, if not suppressed altogether, are
somewhat less positive than most of the members of this List.

Long-time members of this List will recall that this young man, and a
similar young man on my 1973 trek, are the reasons why I am am so
fervent in advising everyone NOT to take boys who don't want to go,
whose parents are forcing them. Been there, done that - bad, bad
idea.......
