Yep, I'll chime in here also.  I spent a great portion of my youth at
Philmont.  I went on two treks ('86 and '89) and had the great opportunity
to work on staff there from '90 to '93.  We still take vacations to the area
whenever we get the chance.  Philmont is truly one of those special places
that stay with you, long after you visit.  

I've been on some maintenance visits to the crash site on Trail Peak.  Every
few years we have to go and paint an X over the crash, because sometime
pilots were reporting the debris as a recent crash.  Someone has been
researching the history of the plane that crashed, and is writing (or has
written) a book about the incident.  I saw a draft of the manuscript, and it
is interesting material.

Obligatory LBC content -  I never got a chance to drive a Spridget in the
Sangre de Cristo area.  I wanted to, but the only one I had access to at the
time was my dad's, and he was smart enough not to let me take it for the
summer! <grin>
