Re[2]: [Philmont]: missing website ?? It's there

 Not from here it's not.
 
 Thanks for the info, but I work with computers all day long
 (till tomorrow when we leave for our Trek :-)

 I've tried on several different systems with different Domain Name
 Servers. (via T1, cable, none via a modem)over several days.

 The link on Selden's site doesn't bring it up.
 The link from Google (www.philmont.com is the first link shown)
 doesn't either, so it's not a typing problem.
 
 Even an attempt to directly "ping" it doesn't work.

 My guess is they crashed and haven't recovered.
