#Philmont Crew 612-N learns that all that glitters is not gold as they take to the Aztec Ponil mines, try their hand at blacksmithing and panning for gold, and live the mountain man life as they throw tomahawks and shoot black-powder rifles. Read more >> https://t.co/Fn3wijQzDV

As of Thursday, Crew 612-N was 13 mi into their 65-mi backpacking trek at @philmont. They're honing their @leavenotrace skills and mastering the art of preparing fluffy, tender rice. So far, the latter has been a little hit or miss. #Philmont #LeaveNoTrace

At @philmont, almost two things are guaranteed: it's going to rain at some point, and Monday always follows Sunday. Read how our Scouts spent their rainy Sunday and Monday as they geared up to begin Tuesday's trek >> https://t.co/k7ZJ97bvgl

Friday's mood was temporarily deflating due to a flat tire, which delayed the crew's Friday evening arrival at Foss State Park. They're back on the road today and pacing toward their next stop, Great Sand Dunes National Park—and eventually, @philmont.

On Friday, the troop's Philmont Scout Ranch Expedition 612-N crew crossed the Mississippi River into Arkansas as they continue their road trip to Cimmaron, New Mexico. The group is hoping for a razorback-free drive through "the natural state."
