Welcome to the Melrose Boy Scout Troop 68
1998 Philmont Photo Gallery
#3
In July, 1998, ten members of Troop 68, along with
two adult advisors, took part in the council's trip to Philmont Scout Ranch
in New Mexico. Troop 68 filled one of the three council contingents that
went on this adventure.
Most of the following pictures feature pictures
of the fourth day of the crew's trek through the Philmont wilderness, including
the climb to Baldy Mountain, Philmont's highest peak.
All of the pictures are thumb nailed. Click on any picture

We passed through a valley at the Back of Mount Baldy
on our way to camp.

Supper at Copper Park Camp tasted mighty good.
|
The crew posed before beginning to assend the back (north)
side of Baldy.
|
The climb up the rocky back side of Baldy begins!
|
We stopped for a short rest to catch our breath as we
neared the summit.
|
At 12,441 feet above sea level, the view from Baldy is
a true site to behold.
|
Just one view from Baldy Mountain's summit.
|
And another view from on top of Mount Baldy.
|
Philmont can be a great experience for a father and son
to experience.

It was quite an experience eating lunch on top of Baldy.
|
On the way back down we stopped at Baldy Camp...
|
...and washed our dirty clothes from the last four days.
|
A couple of the crew members brought along panaramic cameras and got
some great shots along the way. Here are a couple shots of the view around
Baldy Mountain, thumb nailed, of course.
