The Year 2000 Philmont Trek!

(Last updated Tuesday, August 8, 2000)

The Year 2000 Philmont Trek, an activity that took almost a year to plan was led by Assistant Scoutmaster Mark Jackson. The other adults on the trek were John Halsey and Skip Jackson (Mark's dad). The trek travelled by bus to the Philmont Scout Ranch in Northern New Mexico departing on the morning of June 26th, and arriving safely home the afternoon of July 9th. As you can see by the sampling of pictures below, the crew clearly had quite a lot of activities to take up their time.

Trek Leader knows the rest of the trek is ... somewhere

Ahhh!  There they are!

One of many encounters with wildlife on the trail

An improptu Eagle Court of Honor on top of Mount Baldy, under threat of rain

After the rain, a spectacular rainbow

Overall the crew had a swinging time

I know my contact is here somewhere, do you see it?

This view alone must have been worth the trip

Chocolate?!?  Who's got Chocolate?

Hi ho, hi ho, its on the trail we go!
