Philmont Scout Ranch
Philmont Scout Ranch is a large, rugged, mountainous ranch located near the town of Cimarron, New Mexico, covering 140,177 acres (219.027 sq mi) of wilderness in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of the Rocky Mountains of northern New Mexico. The ranch, formerly the property of oil baron Waite Phillips and now that of the Boy Scouts of America, is a National High Adventure Base in which crews of Scouts and Venturers take part in backpacking expeditions and other outdoor activities. It is the one of the largest youth camps in the world in land area. Between June 8 and August 22 around 23,000 Scouts and adult leaders backpack across the Ranch's extensive backcountry while over 1,130 seasonal staff personnel maintain the Ranch's summer operations.
Philmont is also home to the Philmont Training Center and the Seton Museum. The Training Center is the primary location for BSA's national volunteer training programs. Philmont is also operated as a ranch, maintaining small herds of cattle, horses, burros and bison.

Philmont (NYCRR station)
Philmont was a former NYCRR train station that served the residents of Claverack, New York.
History
The New York and Harlem Railroad built their main line through Philmont up to Chatham in January 1852, and the station was built shortly after this. The station catered to a local community that had a substantial industry during the 19th and early 20th Centuries. The line provided both passenger and freight train services. The station was acquired by the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad in 1864 and eventually taken over by the New York Central Railroad, who also built a railroad hotel called The Empire House in the 1880s, and a new station in 1910.
As with most of the Harlem Line, the merger of New York Central with Pennsylvania Railroad in 1968 transformed the station into a Penn Central Railroad station. However, with the demise of the NYCRR passenger services in 1972, the station was closed for passengers and provided freight only services. Philmont provided commercial freight services until 1976, when the tracks north of Wassaic were dismantled. The former Empire House has been an American Legion Hall since 1948. The Harlem Valley Rail Trail Association plans to extend the trail along the right-of-way in front of the site of the former station.

Closer
by: PhilmontThey have calculated outcomes
We just pray the numbers lied
It s all calm here on the surface
But a war rages inside
And she lays still tonight
She lays still tonight
Pull me closer while I count the days
Till I see your face
Till I look into your eyes
When I m tired you can carry me
Till I see your face
Till I look into your eyes
We can fire back
Another plan of attack
Something to put the scales
In our favor again
We re expecting less
We just allow the glass
To drain empty through the
Cracks in the bottom
And wash away (away [away])
Don t wash away tonight
Pull me closer while I count the days
Till I see your face
Till I look into your eyes
When I m tired you can carry me
Till I see your face
Till I look into your eyed
Pull me closer while I count the days
Till I see your face
Till I look into your eyes
When I'm tired you can carry me
Till I see your face
Till I look into your eyes
This is life
And I am passing through
But this world has been caught lying
About what it is I m here to do
This is life (this is my life)
Its mine to waste or use
But its time that I decided
Its time for me to choose
Cuz who am I (this is my life)
You would die to prove
That the worthless are all worth it (this is my life)
The curse has been removed
This is life (this is my life)
All though I m passing through
I wanna live as if I m dying
Dying to get close to you
This is life
And you would die to prove
That the worthless are all worth it
The curse has been removed
This is life (this is my life)
And I am passing through
I wanna live as if I m dying
Dying to get close to you
