Re: [Philmont]: Pre-Philmont Travel Planning Assistance

Kent,

I'd recommend you contact Mike Pardue of BlueSky Adventures. We fielded 2
crews (18 Scouts, 6 adults) this past summer and had a terrific experience
with BlueSky for our pre-Philmont trip. Mike has been a scoutmaster in FLA
for 20 years, understands the needs of Scouts on tour and has been to
Philmont several times---We flew into Alberquerque and had a 2 day tour with
white water rafting, sightseeing, hotels, transportation, meals, drop off to
Base Camp and return back to Alberquerque all organized and coordinated by
Mike and the tour company.

Mike can be contacted at www.blueskyadventures.net

Have Fun.
