Philmont!

Labels: Musings, Personal, Scouting

For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s roughly in this region of New Mexico.

I will be leaving in about 6 hours to catch a plane into Denver. We’ll arrive at Philmont on Friday, and hit the trail for a week, finishing up on September 13. I am taking my camera, and hope to take many amazing pictures—more amazing, at least, than the crop from last time, which were taken on a crappy film camera. I cannot explain how excited I am to be going back, even knowing how strenuous it is. You don’t grow by taking the easy options. I’ll post here to let everyone know I got back safely when I finally return the evening of the 13th.

Until then, stay safe, and don’t cause too much trouble while I’m gone. You know who you are.

UPDATE: I took my DSLR along, so here are my pictures from Philmont.

Define "too much trouble."

Seriously, though, enjoy your trip. I'm sure you'll catch some amazing photos. I probably don't need to remind you, but remember to look up from the viewfinder enjoy the scenery as well.

My roommate tells me that he was able to sustain his metabolism on a peanut per day and a bowel movement once a month after his time there. He was temporarily superhuman. Enjoy!
