RE: [Philmont]: Alternatives to Philmont, Boundary Waters

off topic too

We went to Northern Tier in Bissett, Manitoba CANADA. Since our trek
started on JUNE 24, BSA takes 10% off of the Fee. (any trek before July
1st was 10% off) Our trek also included all the stuff mentioned below:
canoes, tents, food, all gear................

Our 8 day, 7 night trek was about $320 (float plane was another $115 extra,
but a real treat).

I think that anyone who signs up for Northern Tier 2005 gets a guarenttee of
PHILMONT in 2007............a long time to wait, but a FOR SURE Philmont
trek.
