Philmont 1998: French Henry Photos

Philmont
1998

French Henry is the location where we panned for gold, took a tour of an old mine and had a lot of fun in the process. These pictures reflect the location that was French Henry.

"The camp, and the gold panning..."

compact.jpg One of the rules of Philmont is that all trash must be compacted into little tiny boxes and/or bags that will bounce on the ground (thus proving how well they have been compacted). Sometimes this can be very difficult to accomplish. Full Size Thumbnail
