[philmont] Conservation Projects and 50 miler award

Our crew did a number of shakedown and warm-up hikes. What we did is a
few hours of conservation work at these, and they quickly added up to 7
hours before we reached Philmont.

This time around we are trying to work in the hours BEFORE we go, so
when the trek is over, we will have completed the requirements for the
award.

Just and idea to work into the program.

***************************************

What has worked well with us is that we incorporate the hours into the
shaledowns. Usually 1 to 1-1/2 hours out two hours conservation and
back. That makes it a full day on the trail and in cons. Five of these
and ypu're done on both accounts. you cvan adjust the math and knock it
out in fewer days. Like Fred says, after trek is darned near
impossible. Has been for eons. It's nothing new.
