Dave Plumb, came back on staff for "one more summer."  He had sworn off romantic relationships, when at a Tobasco Donkeys concert, he unexpectedly met the women he'd later marry and grow a family with (Meg Graham Plumb).  Prior to working on staff, Dave attended PSA treks with his father.  On these treks, he witnessed the deep connections between current and past staff, which is what made him fall in love with Philmont Scout Ranch. Dave discusses the culture of logistics, the Philmont staff connection to the Red River Ski area, and how he continues to use teachable moments to this day as a school teacher in Colorado.
