As we neared Philmont, the vans stopped to allow us to put on our
uniforms.
|

We paused for one last group picture outside of Philmont Scout Ranch.
|

When we arrived we unloaded the vans, set pack lines, and waited for
our rangers.
|

The Tooth of Time peaked over the ridge and our pack line as we waited.
|

Hurry up and wait seemed to be the order of the morning when we arrived
at the Welcome Center.
|

Our crew leaders and adult advisors checked us in at the Philmont
Welcome Center.
|

The crews were not the only ones waiting to move on. Our rangers waited
with us.
|

Our crew leader discovers what awaits us as he goes through the
logistics offices.
|

Isn't this crew handsome in their uniforms?
|

Much more handsome then the other crew.
|

We trusted the rangers when they told us it was time to eat.
|

Passing a little time outside the dining hall.
|

Our ranger discusses first aid skills with us at the medical lodge.
|

That is a lot of food we would have to carry into the backcountry.
|

We found a few things we would not need during the shakedown.
|

We all attended church services the night before we left tent city.
