Bud Turner, N1ROE, has provided a superb write-up on his recent trek at Philmont and his use of amateur radio during the trek. You can find it at Radio Scouting @ Philmont.
I encourage you to check it out and add your own stories about trekking and Radio Scouting — either at Philmont or elsewhere.
Thanks, Bud, for sharing this great story along with plenty of insight for others that will be heading to Philmont.
