[at-l] White Mountains Hut Question

The huts all have chocolate bars and candy for sale.  If I am not mistaken, 
the profits from those sales go directly to the people who pack the stuff 
in.  So, you will be doing the hutmen and women a favor if you pig out on 
that junk ;-).  In any case, I think you can count on every hut having a 
well stocked candy supply. They never seem to be out. Pinkam Notch (only)has 
a walk up widow where you can order sandwiches and the like.  It is a hotel, 
really.

Any other questions, fire away.  Every now and then I kind of like posting 
something more useful than bombastic, and that's a strech I am fairly 
familiar with.  One big difference about that section is you have to plan 
out your days with a bit mor forethought than elswhere.  While there remain 
plenty of places to pitch a tent, there are also plenty of spots where you 
cant camp so more planning (ugh) is required.
