Well, we survived. First off....after adding water, crew gear and food, my pack started the trek at 45 lbs. we had 6 members of the crew wearing fitbits and according to the average of all of us, we walked about 150 miles in 10 days. What I suppose is best is to subtract 20% for around camp walking, which still is a lot of miles backpacking. We got up every morning at 0430 and we're on the trail by 0600 every day. Did Baldy and the tooth of time. It rained 3 days and hailed on us 2 times. It was even better than I remembered from before. I never used my filter, so in hindsight could have saved a little weight there. Also never wore my "Philmont sleepwear system". Just slept in boxers. It did get cold enough 3 days to break out the down jacket. We had a kid in our group who was allergic to lots of food so he brought his own. Me, being the nice guy that I am, ate his and my share of the Philmont food...to keep him safe... so instead of 3000 calories a day I was eating closer to 5000. Before the trek I weighed in at 186.4 lbs and after I weighed 184. The other adults lost 8 lbs each. We were able to get in on each cold shower on day 4 at Baldy town.
I'll be happy to answer any question s you have, if you have been, are looking to go, or just want to know.
