One More Week

One more Week til I depart for Philmont. Next Sunday at 7:40 PM, I will board the Amtrack train @ Fullerton and head east towards New Mexico. The train ride will take about 23 hours and we will be at Philmont Monday evening. On Tuesday, our trek will start. Our trek will be a total of 56 miles over 11 days. We will hike 2 miles the first day, about 3 miles the second day and it will increase. Day 6 will be the hardest and longest as it will be a 8 mile day. After that, the mileage will decrease each day and that will be great. The longest day will be a dry camp day, meaning we will have to cary our own water. It will be a tough 2 weeks away from home but we will be doing many events there also such as rifle shooting and much more. I will write more on our itienary later on this week. Next Sunday before we leave, we will have a dinner at the Spaghetti Factory which is next to the train station. This week, I have to start packing and getting all the things down. I am a bit nervous right now but that will be the case for everyone going to Philmont. So that is next week
