[Philmont] meals by day

Michael Hirschi writes...
 
I'm trying to remember how the trail menu meals are allocated by day...
 
When would a crew see Breakfast #1, Lunch#1, etc.? On a day of the month ending in 1?,
 
I remember seeing the method sometime in the past, but cannot recall clearly, or find it online.

Comment...

That is the rule for June and July. In August, you get meals 2 on the 1st in order to avoid having meals 1 twice, meals 3 on the 2nd, etc.

Also, realize the pickup of a day's meals is that day's Supper and the following day's Breakfast and Lunch (since you might not get to the commissary until after lunch the day you are scheduled for a pickup). It used to be that if you were making a one day pickup on July 22, you would get Supper 2 for today and Breakfast and Lunch 2 for tomorrow, the 23rd. I understand that now you would get Breakfast and Lunch 3 for the next day.

P.S. I'll get this question added to the Philmont FAQs on the www.watchu.org website. That list of questions is pretty comprehensive - I think this will be the first addition in a couple of years (of course, there have been updates to the ones there during that time.)
