Seabase – the Spring Break crew is full. There is some interest in a second ship. We still need 3 more before reserving the second ship.

June crew – there is still one spot available. Both crews are on the Coral Reef Sailing.

Philmont – we have 1 crew full, 1 crew 1/2 filled ( 6 of 12 ). The third crew is completely empty at this time. We will be deciding in the near future whether to keep the third and try to fill it or turn back to Philmont. If you are considering going to Philmont next year, and you haven’t reserved a spot yet, do so soon. If we turn down the third crew, we won’t have many spots open.

Philmont 2011 is finished. We had a great follow up meeting with everyone able to tell more about their treks. Many good pictures and videos of the trips.

We will begin the planning meetings for Seabase 2012 soon. This trip does not require as much detailed planning.

The planning meetings for Philmont 2012 will start in October. We still have room for more adults and scouts. Talk to anyone who has been to Philmont and they will tell you about a “don’t miss adventure”.

I finally have the photo page for our Philmont trek put together.  A HUGE thank you to everyone who gave me copies of their photos to go through and use.  Hopefully, this page does a reasonable job of showing the story of our trek.  It was an amazing journey!

Follow this link to the video from our Philmont 2011 experience.  It was an incredible trek and journey. As always, Philmont does not disappoint and I don’t think anyone returned as the same person that left.

I have some of the photos from the trip posted at http://troop55cfia.org/pages/2011/Philmont/Philmont.html .

 

Our crew climbed to the top of Mount Phillips.

It is a strenous climb to the top of the 11,700 foot mountain, but the view is amazing.  This is about 180 degree panorama.

We also climbed the Tooth of Time.  Another great view.  This is a 360 degree panorama from the top.

I have all of my notes from the trek posted.  I still need to go through the spelling – I’m sure there are corrections to be made.  The notes are in the pages under trek 17.  They are done on a daily basis.  I hope you enjoy.
