I meant "flowers" as toilet paper flowers. A common way of describing it. Maybe you have lived too sheltered an existence to have been exposed to the phrase in that manner
The internet is a wonderful place, you can sit in the comfort of your home and run your mouth with little or no consequence. See you on the trails *******.

I've never heard of that expression either for what it's worth. Not sure how that make's someone's existence "sheltered". Seems like an odd, self serving comment.
 
I wasn't going to respond to you, but I changed my mind. I may not be everybody's cup of tea, but disingenuous I am not. I might have misread his intention, and I admitted that in my response to him. I have been a member here for 20 years and have spent more than my share of time in the backcountry. I have my opinions, and they may be strong, but they are mine and frankly whether people agree or not is up to them. All that being said, I don't even recognize your name, so I don't know you and you don't know me, so save the accusations for someone you know.
I asked because I didn't know the answer. You have now misinterpreted my words as an accusation. Some people can't read very well while others are just jerks. I was genuinely attempting to find out what the case was there by asking a simple question. I think you've cleared that up now, thanks!
 
Good article on the AMC huts by Miles Howard, former hut croo, in Boston Globe Magazine this past Sunday. Unfortunately behind paywall, but those of you with subscriptions should be able to find it.
 
I read this article and think it (and the AMC staff interviewed) totally miss the point.

IMHO the huts exist for one simple reason: to enable hiking in the Whites, especially above tree line.

They should not be compared to any other traditional lodging facilities, including glamping, private cabins, motels, etc. Excluding Pinkham and Highland they are not front-country amenity providing facilities.

Rather than glamming them up the club should look at ways to make them more affordable for the average middle class family.
