Bill called this AM from Philmont. He says the weather is perfect, cool in the AM. Unfortunately, verizon doesn’t have connectivity up in the mountains. He has service sometimes, but he can’t send the picture messages home. However, he says all the scouts are healthy and ready to go! They’ve done their final pack checks w/the rangers. “Bring this, don’t bring that etc.” It’s quite an operation. There are 500 scouts going in and out of Philmont daily! There are 1000 rangers there to help! Sooo… I’ll let you know if I hear from them.
Later!
