RE: [Philmont]: Book for the trail

The best reading for the Philmont trail is an adventure travel book by a
Philmont staffer:
101 Countries! (by me!)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1589395026
Some should be on sale at the Ranger Office (not trading post) at Philmont
Base Camp (aka Camping Headquarters)

Sorry for the shameless plug!

Regarding how to carry a heavy book: some suggest tearing it in half, and
having another crew member carry the other half. You decide who gets to read
the 2nd half first.
