I expect to see you and that hat at some future event hinting at the lessons learned from your many outdoor adventures. You’re already an ambassador for Philmont treks and Scouting in general. Is anyone not yet ready? … No worries … Hike on, my friend.
A beautiful piece, as always! The part that got to me — “That hat does not try to be new again. It does not need to. It is exactly what it is supposed to be now. Reliable. Proven.” The hat IS you, my nephew. We have your back.
Wonderful family travel photos! Looking forwrd to seeing more photos of your future trips!
Great story--so well written!

Thanks for the kind words. The imagery struck me this morning when I saw the hat and decided to write about it.
