About the Book
It is not very often a person gets the opportunity to be invited to prisitne valleys, mountains, and streams. I have had the good fortune of going to a place that fits that description twice so far.



Philmont Scout Ranch is the largest youth camp in the world. 2,200 Scouts and Scouters visit each year, and you can only attend by invitation.



This book is comprised of photographs taken in the northern part of Philmont, and the Valle Vidal in July of 2009. Our crew, (704-X1) from Chico, California was 10 people strong, and this is our travel log.

I had to lose some extra weight just so I could take this camera with me. As Ansel Adams said, "Always take the biggest camera you can carry".
