Troop 1 Highadventurers With the Ute Park fire raging in Northeast New Mexico as we speak, Philmont has apparently cancelled our trek on July 7. The Philmont announcement is below - this is all that we know right now.
Additionally, as a dynamic and active crew of adult leaders, discussions about ideas and options for alternative plans has just started to flow. At this point I EXPECT (no guarantees yet) that we will get a call from Philmont that our trek is cancelled, Philmont and Amtrak issue full refunds.
At a time yet to be planned, we will meet as a Troop and layout our options for alternate High Adventure plans this year. To be honest, while I am disappointed by the natural disaster in New Mexico, we have a dedicated and enthusiastic Troop, a ROCKSTAR high adventure crew and I am beyond excited about the exciting options yet to be explored in our near future.
