[Philmont] philmont red roof inns/pilot to bombadier locations

Terry,

I explained my reasons for inquiring to Bill in another message.

We plan to use the individual hydration method this year after
successfully trying it on our shakedown hikes using a single 6-quart
pot to boil water and sanitize our bowls and spoons and Rubbermaid
TakeAlongs Divided Rectangle bowls with lids. KP consists of
gut-sumping our individual bowls and sanitizing them before the next
meal. The pot should never get dirty. We added a measuring cup to the
crew gear list to measure the water into the individual bowls. Thanks
to Coop and Wally for the idea.
