[philmont] Philmont Short Trek

We filled out and sent in the standard program preference card in 2003,
which resulted in Philmont sending us an itinerary about 2 weeks before
the start of our trek. It didn't match any of the standard numbered
treks, but hit just about everything we requested, and threw in a few
extras we didn't ask for, but really enjoyed.
 
We were the last crew at through half of our staffed camps, and at a
couple we were the only ones there for the night. That resulted in some
really special treatment (like a midnight game of "capture the flag"
against the Urraca staff, and helping the Apache Springs staff clean out
their personal food cache from the summer.

        I was an advisor that took an 8 day trek in August. You will
design your own trek based upon the programs, mileage and ability of
your crew. Have the boys rank the important programs, camps, peaks,etc.
they want to do, then you will create a trek at logistics that
encompasses as many of these as possible. You will not have any layover
days like in a 10 day trek. We basically did trek 4 in 8 days which was
about 64 miles. You can check it out on our websiste, www.troop718.org.
         
        If you have more questions, please feel to ask.
