[Philmont]: RE: Three quick questions

I took no camp shoes on a trek in 2000, and didn't really miss them. I took
water shoes on a trek last year. They were light weight but otherwise
weren't much good to me as camp shoes. Mine had a relatively hard rubber
sole and a neoprene top with a Velcro strap. They didn't have much tread.
They were very comfortable as long as you weren't moving. But if I had to
walk to the red roof inn, invariably I'd have to go up or down some slope,
and the shoes would slip all over my feet.

Next time I go to Philmont(hopefully, there will be one) I might try light
weight running shoes with a good tread, so I could do a bit of hill
scrambling with greater support, or maybe just save the weight and keep my
boots on.

We're off to a week of sea kayaking in Puget Sound next week.
