Hi Don :
 
Glad you made it. Actually our preferred dates were in Late June and very early
July. In 2001 we left on June 24th and had great weather. A friend in another
troop went in mid-July and had to contend with rain. From what the Philmont
veterans tell be though, the weather is a matter of luck, no matter what day it
is.
