RE: [Philmont]: A book for the trail & a ?

I've heard that some take a cheap paperback, tearing off the "READ" pages
and throwing them away as they go.

They end up nothing left by the time they get back to base camp.

I never fine enough time to keep a journal on the trail, let alone read a
book. I have great admiration for those who can.
