| had a fun adventure with my troop from San Jose, CA in the early 1990s. We made a fun loop of 60 or 70 miles and climbed Mt Phillips & Tooth of Time in the process. Looking back, the highlights that were most memorable: catching and skinning and eating a squirrel at the "pioneer camp, the epic hail storm half way through our trip that shredded tents, eating Golden Grahams at base camp, and sitting on a boulder that started to slide towards a cliff on Tooth of Time (we survived). I still have the Philmont 50th anniversary panoramic poster hanging in my bedroom. A teenage trip of a lifetime. |
