[philmont] Bear Ropes

My co-advisor and I said the same thing for my first trip to Philmont in
1998. In 2001, each of our unit's crews had a bear encounter. In 2004,
between the two crews we encountered two bears and a mountain lion.

Lou:

Your suggestion that "they love to play up the bear problem" is unfortunate,
and could lead some to believe that bears at Philmont do not pose a threat.
They do. The fact that you didn't see any on your trek may reflect the
success of Philmont's bear precautions.
