Our ranger gave us a demonstration on how ranger push-ups should be
properly done.
|

We left Philmont for one night and stayed in the Elliot Barker State
Wildlife Area.
|

This stream was a good place to stop for a short rest and fill up our
water bottles.
|

After being invited up onto the porch, our crew leader checked us in at
Rich Cabins Camp.
|

The crew was getting pretty good at making a decent pack line by this
time.
|

Our camp at Rich Cabins was located in a beautiful valley between the
mountains.
|

Our lunch had to be eaten near the bear bag cable because we did not
want crumbs in our site.
|

The view of Rich Cabins was great as we discussed the Wilderness Pledge
with our ranger.
|

Rich Cabins is set up as an early farmstead. They had several animals
in the yard.
|

Each of the crew members had the chance to hand milk the dairy cow, by
hand.
|

Our ranger showed off when she drank the fresh warm milk from the cow.
|

On our way to Pueblano Camp we stopped for a rest at the top of Wilson
Mesa.
|

Our crew did a great job of staying together as we hiked the trails of
Philmont Scout Ranch.
|

It was nice and sunny as we checked in on the porch at Pueblano Camp.
|

Unfortunately, that afternoon, as we prepared to do our service, a
large storm drenched us.
|

The evening campfire program by the Pueblano staff was funny and quite
enjoyable.
