[Philmont] Pack Size

We had two crews last summer all with internal frame packs and no problems.
Most were about 4,800 to 5,600 sq inches. The smallest was a Kelty Coyote (new style which seems to be a lot bigger then they were a few years ago. The scout with that pack wished he has a little more space. We had lots of the bigger Alps Mountaineering Packs and the scouts with those were very happy.

   What size pack volume have folks been using at Philmont recently?

  Internal or External?

  Did you have enough room, to much or to little?

  I used a 120 liter pack in 2004 and thinking of dropping down to a 70 liter in 2007. The 70 liter worked fine for a 7 day trip this summer with no re-supply. But then, I don't carry as much excess stuff as at Philmont.
