    Today Kara Noonan Stevens joins the show to share her experiences on staff in the 90s and on staff last summer at the Welcome Center. She describes the Welcome Center as "Philmont's Front Porch."

It's also a place where Welcome center staff can work hard and be able to relax enough to realize that its a good thing to not always be busy or hurried. That you in fact can sit ...

    Dan and Karen Ashton met at Philmont in 1977, and recently celebrated 31 years of marriage. Their story is untraditional and adventurous - much like the paths we traverse in the rugged backcountry hills. The couple shares stories as though we were casually grouped around a campfire, like old friends do.
