We played Ultimate in many a meadow (which come to think of it is probably at odds with the "Leave no trace" philosophy), but our games came to a halt after one of our crew twisted his ankle on the uneven ground in the Head of Dean meadow. He had to be evacuated to Health Lodge, but fortunately was able to rejoin us two nights later at Aspen Springs. So Frisbees in the back country can cause injuries that take crew members off the trail, robbing them of some of their Philmont experience. >> Folks, I am generally a liberal minded person, but taking Hacks and frizzs to Philmont is a no brainer. You have no brain if that is what you paid to do or if that is teh "edge" you live on. To be a volunteer to accompany a crew of racus whatever, no thank you! There is a time and a place fro everything, almost! Philmont is neither the time or the place for that at all. This just goes to show that some of our leaders fail even before they arrive. These crews obviously have way too much time on their hands and a much too soft itenerary. Give me a break! Hacky at home!
