Re: [Philmont]: Paperwork

  VERY IMPORTANT ! When you arrive at Philmont your crew leader will check in and be assigned a ranger and your tents in tent city. You as an advisor must head over to Administration and finish the checkin procedure. HOWEVER, they will not proceed to step one without your TOUR PERMIT! If you are part of a contingent make darn sure that your contingent leader either gets right off the bus and runs, not walks, to the admin building, or get a copy of the tour permit to have with you.

  When you have the tour permit, the nice people in admin will take your rooster, photo release, any monies that you may owe, payment for extra crew or contingent pictures and issue you receipts, as well as envelopes to store valuables in.

  Again, they will not do any of this unless they have a tour permit. If you don't get that done, you cannot get a picture taken. ALL CREWS have their picture taken on a bench with the Tooth of Time in the background. Because of the angle of the sun, they only take pictures until 11 or 11:30 am. If you miss the picture on check in day, you must have one taken before you hit the trail the next day. This can be a real hassel if you have an early bus to the trailhead, especially if you are trying to have a contingent picture taken. .

  FYI Everyone must have a picture taken,and they do so without sunglasses and hats. This is in case someone gets lost, the news people can pull the picture and distribute copies. . They will ( or in the past have) taken extra pictutres with hats and glasses etc, if you pay for them in advance, which can only happen in admin, after you turn in your tour permit. All crew members get one free picture, either of the crew or of the contingent. If you are in a contingent and have a contingent picture taken, in additiion to the crew picture, then someone must pay for them in advance, usually the same person with the tour permit-;))

  HAVE A GREAT TRIP
