     Don't worry about all that money, Pittsburgh. I am SURE the AMC can 
     show the huts operating in the red.

it is interesting that the AMC huts are getting so much discussion right 
now, because i just stayed at 7 of the 9 huts.  soooo, here is my $0.02 
worth, my opinion only...
     <major snippage of good points>
      the average person pays $55 to stay at a hut.  multiply this by 48 
     people and you get $2640.  by 90 people and you get $4950.  that is 
     one one night at a full hut.  lets say $3000 average per night for 4 
     months, and you get $360,000.  take that times the 7 full service huts 
     and you get $2,520,000 per year for the huts. 
my opinion, now back to hiking...
