On my way to Philmont tomorrow
Well: Tomorrow is the big day. My contingent leaves for Philmont at 4:30 tomorrow morning. We will head to Colorado Springs for a trip up to Pikes Peak. Then we head out on a bus Wednesday morning to Philmont for 12 days of backpacking and fun in the Mountains. Its been a dream that we have all been waiting for since last July. I have been planning this since 2006 when I first started thinking about Scoutmaster. My son and I atre both really excited. Just finished doing an inventory of the pack. I am at 25 pounds without water. I could probably do less than that but I want a few things that add some weight just for the comfort. Hopefully in about 2 weeks I can post some sweet pictures of the group and some views. Wish me luck.......
