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.
