I did Philmont at about age 15. Great experience in the Sangre de Christos above 10K feet! Northern NM is awesome. I know why Ted Turner bought half of it.

Yeah I went once with my troop then took the guide job there for 2 years .....remember the scout that went out with your troop the first one or two days to make sure your leaders knew their stuff and the rules etc ??

That is what I did in 70 and 71......

Then when I got stationed back at Kirtland in NM I was back where I loved to go hunting , fishing, hiking and wheeling !

NM Politics suck pond water now so I won’t live there....you know that story !

“I know why Ted Turner bought half of it.”

He bought half of it for the Nature Conservancy. End goal is to ban roads, people, or development. Then give it to the UN.

Only the federal government owns more US property than Ted Turner. He is the largest private land owner in the US.
