Back when I was a Boy Scout, our troop went to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. I came across a Facebook post by a fellow scouter, and it brought back many memories. I was 14, if I remember correctly. I am the tall guy in the center of the back row.
We were there hiking for about ten days.
We hiked about 60 miles, earning the “50 Miler Patch.”
We hiked to the top of Mount Baldy.
As more memories come clear, I’ll post them here. This is a work in progress. Stop back to see more!
In the meantime, here is Marlin Perkins at Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom and his trip to Philmont Scout Ranch.
I have fond memories of driving my Ford Ranger, and I loved the stick shift. Alex and I had many adventures driving in my truck, especially to Boystown in Chicago. What a trip! ajtonyperkins.com
I am a huge fan of Dorothy Kilgallen. I compiled this video about her amazing life and mysterious death. Sadly, few people have heard of this once great media star, and she remains mostly forgotten.
