Burros can be an interesting experience, but can also lead to great delay in
reaching your camp site. They definitely do not make the job easier. In
2000 our four crews at Philmont selected for their tee shirts one with a
picture of a burro and the caption, "Burros. Just Say No!" These were a
huge favorite with the staff, many of whom wanted tee-shirts.
