We awoke early in the morning to get ready to leave tent city.
|
We waited for our bus to arrive at the Philmont Welcome Center.
|
We began our trek at the Ponil Turnaround in northern Philmont.
|
After a quick review of map and compass skills we were ready to begin.
|
A few horse joined us at the Ponil turnaround.
|
Our ranger discussed sanitation knowledge inside a red roof inn.
|
Hi ho, hi ho, it's a 2 mile stretch of hiking we go...
|
Our first campsite was located at Dean's Cut-Off Camp.
|
Our ranger discusses more Philmont knowledge after camp was set up.
|
For some reason we were pretty tired after those first couple of miles
of hiking.
|
Our camp at Dean's Cut-Off looks clean, well organized, and downright
livable.
|
We spent the rest of the day and evening at Ponil Camp and the cantina.
|
A couple of guys tried their skills at playing a duet on the piano at
the Ponil cantina.
|
The cantina was a great place to relax, play some cards, and visit with
each other.
|
Yeah, yeah. When your advisor has a camera you know there will be a lot
of pictures taken.
|
This was the last picture taken of the Troop 68 Scouts before they went
their separate ways.
