Philmont

Joe and I have been doing some more hiking.  Our latest adventure was a twelve day backpacking trek at the Philmont Scout Ranch near Cimarron, NM.  The Ranch was given to the Boy Scouts in 1938 by oil baron Waite Phillips.  Lots of history there, but suffice it to say it was a privilege to be at Philmont, and an experience that I will cherish.

Grace was said before every meal.  

for food

for raiment

for life

for opportunity

for friendship and fellowship

we thank thee, O Lord - amen

Since I believe in the church of the great outdoors, this worked for me.

Here is Joe at Philmont's main gate.
