It's hard to believe this time had finally arrived. This trip has been 3 years in the planning and preparation. The day after we returned from Ca. it was final shakedown for our Boy Scout crew's Philmont trek. The boys & leaders all had their packs, to check and double check equipment and make sure everything was ready to roll for the next day. They would be leaving to head to New Mexico for the next two weeks on a 11 day trek in the mountains of Philmont. Some were prepared, some not quite as much as they could have, but all were excited. There were 3 leaders and 9 boys. And all were ready for the adventure.
The boys checked the weight of their pack
They checked the equipment list one last time. Some made a quick trip to the sporting goods store for the forgotten item
Packs lined up ready to go.
Probably the most essential piece of equipment, a good pair of hiking boots. I don't even want to think about how much $$ is lined up there. If your feet aren't properly taken care of it can make or break the experience.
The crew all ready to go. we were missing two of the boys, they would meet up with the others in Dallas.
