Hi XXX, there is a delete key you know( OK, Now I'm XXX, too, I knew that an employee name tag would sooner or later dish anonymity.)
Thanks for taking on this research which as in my experience often proves inconclusive or contradictory
A few facts of which newer hikers may be unaware:
* At one time all AMC huts had a refuge room open for off-season use, Miriam Underhill for instance hiked the Bonds in winter from Galehead. Vandalism and increasing use killed the idea - how many folks might show up on a typical weekend these days?
* There was once an emergency Quonset hut at Edmands Col which arguably has more exposed escape routes than Lakes, it was removed by the FS when it became a planned destination and would fill over capacity on any excuse
* The road to the Cog Railway Base Station didn't use to be plowed, so anyone bailing out Ammo would have to walk out to Rte. 302
