Monday is the day of departurefor us near Decatur, Illinois (Moweaqua).
Thanks to this list, I go out with my trusting treking poles, a load of
Tyvek for ground clothes, gutter nails for stakes, paracord for ropes,
turkey bags and smart wool socks plus a host of other goodies.
This list has been extremely helpful in preparing for this trek. A
special thanks to Cooper Wright's Advisor manual (worth getting) and the
regular contributers including Dr. Bob, John LeBlanc, Signe Rogers, and all
the rest, and especially Sheldon's web pages.
With Amtrak back on line, and our crew selecting Trek 24, which is North
country, we wait with great anticipation as to where we will be going which
is a big question mark, but there are no bad treks at Philmont.
This site shows a great application of part of the Scout Oath...a Scout
is helpful.
Thanks to one and all who help make the site what it is.
We are prepared a lot different than in 1960 when we used Yucca packs,
cotton clothing, ponchos, canvas tents, cooked on wood fires, but we loved
it then and we will love it now. We look forward to an equally exciting
adventure.
Happy Trails to you until we meet again.
In Scouting,
