We All Made It!

The Philmont Crew has been home for a few days and life is returning to normal. Well at least as normal as life can be after a trip to Philmont. The clothes are clean or have been thrown away. Over all it was a great trip for everyone. I have over 1000 new photos to review before I can decide which ones need to be printed. I think we all learned a few things. Like how funny Jason looks running back down the trail after seeing a bear. Wish I had my camera ready for that one. Other fun things to learn; mini bears are faster than Woody, after a few days without a shower it doesn’t matter any more, the man who draws the highest card gets to eat the leftovers (not a prize). Most important, a Philmont Trek may use a lot of energy but it is not work.

Philmont trip +1 day

Well the Philmont crew was scheduled to arrive home yesterday but so far I have not seen nor heard from any of them. Hopefully we will be able to confirm their safe return some time soon and maybe get a few pictures to post here on the site of their adventure. Also if any one who went wants to e-mail me a report on the trip I will post it. I would say there is a good chance that some of them are still sleeping off the effects of this trip and it may take a couple days….

Update: I have received word that the Philmont crew did indeed return home running only 7 minutes late.  Hopefully more new to follow.
