[Philmont] 30 & Burros

We stayed at Sioux in '05 on trek 21. You could see fire damage on the
surrounding hills, but Sioux and the trail up to it showed no signs of
fire damage.

You do have to take the road to Pueblano. We could have made it in time
to spar pole climb, but our crew opted to relax around camp instead, eat
an early dinner, and go for logger ball and the campfire that evening.
We spar pole climbed the next morning before moving on.

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)?
