While at Clark's Fork Camp a deer decided to check out
what the Scouts were up to.
|
It was amazing how close the deer would let us come to
them before they moved away.
|
Our last day of hiking took us through Schaefer's Pass.
The crew stopped for one last picture in the backcountry.
|
After getting rid of our gear, we began the hike to the
Tooth Of Time, one of Philmont's landmarks.
|
It was a rugged trip up to the Tooth. Like Mount Baldy
before it, the Tooth was mostly barren rock.
|
The last part of the hike to the top challanged our agility
as we climbed over boulders and crevaces.
|
We did it! We reached the summit of the Tooth
Of Time.

Several members of the crew take a break to enjoy the
view.
|
Hi Mom! I'm near a sheer cliff drop-off!
|
The crew took a moment to eat while on the Tooth.
|
Ah! There is not many things in life that compare
to this.
|
The whole crew poses for a shot on the Tooth Of Time.

|
Getting back down was as much of a challange as getting
up to the
Tooth was.
|
The last stretch of hiking on our way to Base Camp was
loaded with switchbacks.
|
The view we have been waiting for:
Base camp!
|
A tired and very thirsty crew arrives at base camp.
|
The trip was over when we arrived back in St. Coud, Minnesota.
