In a week....

Nearly 50 Scouts from Gib's troop are heading to Philmont next Wednesday. Gib's Venture Crew "Be Careful What You Wish For" got the trek that they refer to as The Philmont Triple Crown: Hiking to Mt. Phillips, Tooth of Time and Baldy Mountain in 94 miles of challenging terrain and long days of backpacking.  But what's THAT to an experienced Venture Crew of college bound boys?! 

Well FIRE might slow them down. Please keep the situation in your thoughts and prayers.
Of course we want them to be safe. But it would be sad to end up at arrow making camp in a northern valley when they were ready to take on the world!  I've been following the fire reports (link above) and am hopeful that by the week's end, the fire will be 100% contained and the boys, in their final adventure together, get all that they wished for!
