As an ex-scoutmaster, I have a feel for what you accomplished and I applaud you for all the work and planning that is necessary to pull such a trip off. Some people criticize scouting unfairly (sometimes fairly) but it can be one of the best influences in the life of a boy that there is, especially when he has a father who has little interest in the out of doors or being with his son. Thanks for sharing your trip with the rest of us.
Ah, yes, great stuff! My son and I were on High Dune a couple weeks after you (the TR is here on SP). I see that you've also visited my Touch-Me-Not images. I didn't say it in the captions but that's Venture Crew 921 from Nicoma Park, OK (I'm advisor). We also mountain biked the ski runs at Angel Fire, and rafted Class 3 sections of the Rio Grande near Taos. If you're interested you can see some more images of that trip at:
