Troop 33 at the Philmont Scout Ranch
Posted by Alex on 30th July 2007
We recently took some time off from high school sports photography for a little rest and relaxation by going on a backpacking trip with the Boy Scouts of America to The Philmont Scout Ranch in
Cimarron, New Mexico. Crew 711L3 comprising 11 scouts and 3 adult advisors from Troop 33 in Scotch Plains-Fanwood travelled via Denver and Colorado Springs to visit Pikes Peak and the Air Force Academy as well as to do a little whitewater rafting before going on to the Southern Rockies located in New Mexico. From the Philmont Scout Ranch located at an elevation of about 6,500 feet, crew 711L3 traversed 68.5 miles on foot over 10 days through the wilderness covering several mountain tops, including Mount Phillips at 11,700 feet.
That’s me with the maroon Golite backpack, Lowa Boots and Rudy Project sunglasses hiking down from some mountain top. The photo is courtesy of Tom Loop. You can see more photos from the trip by watching this slideshow or going to this link.
