[Philmont]: Philmont list

While cleaning off my desk at work, I ran into a list of things our crew
put together on our way home from our trek last year. I think they're worth
sharing!

You know you've been to Philmont when:

1. Squeeze cheese is a delicacy, especially Jalapeño!
2. You're leaving to run errands with your kids and one of them pipes up
"Is anyone not ready?"
3. You make sure your kids are wearing closed toe shoes before going out to
play.
4. You stock up on water whenever it's available.
5. You automatically look for floaters.
6. You think water without Polar Pure is bland.
7. A two hour hike is 'nothing.'
8. You keep a spider stick in the bathroom.
9. 2 showers is 10 days is "good enough".
10. "Swap" automatically means better food.
11. You're getting dressed in the morning and "This was clean yesterday" is
OK.
12. Teenage boys look forward to going to bed early and taking hot showers.
13. You get excited about Chips Ahoy for dinner.
14. You scope your back yard for the dandy bear bag tree.
15. "Get piece of the rock" takes on a new meaning.
16. You go to a friend's house for a sleepover and you automatically look
for the sump.
17. You pack for a two week vacation with three sets of clothes.
18. Chuckwagon seems like fine dining.
19. Hiking for 6 hours 'isn't so bad'.
20. Getting up early is worth it.
21. A 500 foot climb is worth it for the view.
22. You can eat an entire meal of finger foods and not touch any of it with
your fingers.
