A year ago, I was a massively overweight teen that would do anything to stay at home and watch TV to skip sports practice. A couple days ago I topped Baldy with my dad and friends that I've known since 1st grade. Philmont showed me that if I hit the grind and work hard, I can do what I want.

I need an explanation. I was wondering if the Philmont cattle brand shown below has any significance. I suspect that the PS may stand for Philmont Scout ranch and the S is backwards in reference to the old name, Philturn. Thanks!
