went as an Assistant Scoutmaster to Philmont Scout Ranch in northern New Mexico for 2 weeks.\u00a0 Jim M. was an Assistant Scoutmaster of a troop, and they needed another adult for the trip.\u00a0 Even though I had been working for less than a year, my boss let me have 2 weeks off for the trip, and that was one of my best vacations ever.\u00a0 Four adult leaders took 8-9 Scouts for 2 weeks of wilderness hiking in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Philmont Scout Ranch is a High Adventure Base for the Scouts, and the mountain hiking was a challenge for Scouts and adults.\u00a0 We spent a few days in a base camp acclimating to the altitude, but when you live in Dallas at 500 feet above sea level, carrying a heavy pack at 7,000 \u2013 10,000 feet is a

riding on dirt bikes and one of the kids hurt his leg while he was riding on the ski trails.\u00a0 We all went to the very small local hospital and doctors said he had to walk on crutches for a week.\u00a0 This was not a good start when you are about to begin a 2-week hike in the mountains carrying a heavy pack.\u00a0 We ended up splitting his pack up among the other twelve of us so he could continue with his hike \u2013 we would have had a very mad dad.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
