Amtrak service cut could affect Scouts going to Philmont Ranch
From The Albuquerque Journal
If you have ever been to Philmont Scout Ranch like I have (three times: 1993, 1994, 1995), the story about an Amtrak change that will affect the Ranch (and those Scouts and Leaders going to it) is worth noting.
For more of my adventures at Philmont, Check out http://dankohn.info/~trail96/philmont/
