April 2024
Time to make: 3 hours
Finishing: 1 hour
Original design: Philmont/Bill Macfarlane
Philmont's Cavalcade trek is a very different trek because, instead of hiking from camp to camp, the participants ride horses. It is also one of the most regulated programs as each rider must be under 200 pounds and no crew can go on Cavalcade in consecutive years. The program is so popular that crews must enter a lottery to gain a spot in the program. Just thinking about it, what a great way to experience Philmont like the early settlers did in this marvelous wilderness!
Carved from pallet pine this was a challenging slide because of the perspective aspects of the horse/rider, mountains and sky. Painted with hobby paints and lettered with water slide paper. A couple of coats of poly finish it off.
