RE: [Philmont]: Orange Plastic Trowels was "backpacks and observations"

Just back from Philmont so I haven't been following the threads. Sorry if
this is a repeat.

Despite the notes that Philmont will supply the crews with a shovel, they
had NONE to offer. We bought an orange plastic one for $2 at Tooth of Time
Traders and never used it.

Thanks,
