[Philmont] 30 & Burros

This is for anyone who did 30 in 2005 or 2006:

Since the fire burned Sioux pretty badly (I hear), do you still stage up there on the hillside for Ranger Training or stay somewhere else down in the canyon, like Bent?

We always used to enjoy so much the detour out of Ponil going off property up and over Wilson Mesa. We'd do lunch at the beautiful lake looking up at Baldy, pay our respects to Rex's grave site, and cobble down into Pueblano in time to do climbing that afternoon. 'Twas a great beginning! Now that the burros have been forced on fast-moving crews like 30, I presume you just have to take the normal (boring) trail from Ponil to Pueblano. True or no? Once you dragged the burros up that trail to Continental Tie & Lumber Hqs, did you have time to pole climb THAT afternoon?

After Pueblano, I presume you take the burros to Baldy Skyline, but then what? Did you then drop down to Miranda to feed them and Mountain Man, or did you stay high on the ridge and head on up to Ewells to overnight them on open pasture? Did you drop them at Miranda or Baldy Town? If Baldy Town, how did you get it done in time to begin Baldy by 9 (which is, I understand, the current deadline departure time)?
