RE: [Philmont]: Philmont Tour Guides

We used Leading the Way Tours for our Philmont 2005 trip and was very
pleased with the service that they provided. It took at lot off of our
shoulders when it came to planning and organizing all of the trips and meals
that they provided, including travel to and from Philmont. And when we had a
problem getting out of Colorado Springs due to flooding in Dallas, Christine
Emrick arranged, at her expense, for a bus to take us to Denver where we
caught a plane back to Miami through Atlanta. We were very satified with her
service. I hope that they are still in business.

Subject: [Philmont]: Philmont Tour Guides

I hoping that I can get some help from the Philmont list.

So far the only Tour guide that has returned our request for information is
Blue Sky Adventures.

 Does anyone have any knowledge of Leading the Way Tours? They haven't
returned any of our emails or phone calls and it would be nice to know if
they are still in business.

Does anyone of the list know of any Tour Operators that are still
specializing in Boy Scout Philmont Treks, other then the above two?

I have read about crews coming on trains, renting vans and the advisors
driving them and so far in my opinion it's best if an someone else is taking
care of the logistics so the Advisors are spending quality time with their
crew.

I would appreciate any word on the subject.
