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 think I was there summer of 71! I remember being told that bears got smarter about getting at hung food bags as the summers went on. By August, they knew how to jump on a line suspended between 2 trees. Then they hibernated, and forgot it all, and had to relearn the tricks next summer. Not sure if that was a myth, but I remember beingn told it.
We slept in “tube tents” made from yellow industrial plastic.
