EMP-33
Hey,
EMP-33: Steve Bricker reports the highlight of his summer
was his
backpacking trip with his oldest son in Cimarron,
N.M. They went to the Philmont Scout Ranch, 138,000 acres
in the Rocky Mountains, with a group from his son’s
Boy Scout troop. Steve and his son backpacked more than 50
miles in elevations up to 11,000 feet. He said the scenery
was very beautiful, with lovely sunrises and sunsets. They
saw lots of mule, deer and bear and even encountered a mountain
lion as they returned to camp after dark one night. Their
trip was cut short due to the passing of Steve’s father.
