Cooper,
Would you e-mail me please about getting one of your $10 Philmont guides? I
would appreciate it very much.
BTW, to the rest of the group, our crew is planning it's first crew/parent
meeting in October. For the most part, we'll be following the "Philmont
Parent's Rally" program discussing lots of the information given us from the
Council, as well as sharing much of the information gathered to date in this
forum. If anyone has something to offer, I'll gladly accept it.
Pete Swiggum

ICWTGTP (can't go "B"ack until we've been there once)

> The inventor of the poncho was recently awarded the Noble prize for
physics. In the citation, the poncho was cited as the only outdoor document
that "keeps you as dry on the inside as it does on the outside". Now taking
my tongue out of my cheek.

rain jacket serves as the outer layer of your basic layering system of
polypro, fleece and wind/rain proof layer. It has been years since Philmont
included a poncho on the individual gear list and for good reason. If you
are wet AND cold, there really isn't any quick and easy way to get you dry
and warm.
