Can we get a Jamboree 2013 thread going?

"I went to Philmont this summer, had a great time, but is was not what I would call a "mountain top" experience, and that was even with climbing Baldy up the gully trail.

 

Perhaps its because I have backpacked the Grand Canyon, Glacier National Park, Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. I have been west before and Philmont looks like the west. Its great and I had a great time but I have other things I want to experience as well. "

 

I'm from Florida. Getting any interest in attending Sea Base is near impossible because going to the Keys is no big deal. South Florida Council has a camp there, plus there are other camps (several state parks and KOA, etc).

 

For us, Philmont and Northern Tier is a big draw.

 

On the flip side, I've heard that councils near Philmont get no interest in going there...
