the Scouts of
Troop72.com
embarked on the greatest adventure in Scouting:
PHILMONT!
Day 3 (7/10/16): Anasazi to Horse Canyon (11.16 miles)They are building a REAL RAILROAD at Metcalf! Or maybe I should say, WE were building a real railroad. We took turns nailing in spikes, and helped to bolt two sections of rail together. As one of the staffers told us, this is the only place in America where teenage boys can actually build a railroad! After our shift, we took turns riding the hand-pump car a quarter mile back to the buildings where we did some blacksmithing. From Metcalf, we hiked to Horse Canyon, our trail camp for the night. It took another 2.54 miles of frustrating wandering to find the water supply, but we finally got our dinner made around dark. Total distance for the day was 11.16 miles in 4:01, for an average of 21:00 min/mile. Here are a some photos I took with my new Canon 70D camera. - Tom Arneberg (toma@arneberg.com) |
