In 1990, I was the Foreman for the Trail Crew Maintenance within Philmont's Conservation Department. When I got my contract I was a little disappointed that I didn't get a backcountry position, but all turned out well because this was one of the best summers I ever had at Philmont. My only regret was not taking more pictures.

On the trail the 5 of us just slept under a tarp. Here we were caught in a bad hailstorm at New Dean Camp |
After the storm the sun came out, but the hail covered the ground like snow |
Home is where your head lies. Here we camped out in a chapel at Ponil |

On some days off, a friend of mine, Ted Olsson and I, we climbed Wheeler Peak, the highest mountain in New Mexico. The following is a few pictures of the trip. |
