[Philmont] Follow The Boys

I read with interest the post about leaving the GPS in the pack. Who even carry it if that is what you do with it? You missed out on o\ne of the most interesting features of a GPS. Trackpoints. You could have turned it on, stuffed it in the pack and let it do it's thing. When home you could have downloaded an excellent rendition of your path AND graph of your altitude if that floats you.
   
  It's just another tool. Like a hammer, when uesd it's great, when not used it's excess baggage.
   
  As to the below comment.
   
  << if they try to walk down the road from Backache Springs
again I am going to run screaming down the trail.

  Isn't that exactly what advisors are not supposed to do? I thought learning from their mistakes was part of the education Scouts get at Philmont?
   
  It's "Follow The Boys" not "Follow Me Boys".
