This link for the AMC Greenleaf Hut .... http://www.outdoors.org/destinations...greenleaf-hut/ ....says it closed for the season on October 28, gets boarded up for the winter, reopens on June 1, 2023...... is closed for seven months ..... if only it could be sublet to a Dunkin' in the 7-month long, winter season....... formerly named Dunkin' Donuts ..... and there would always be a Fish 'n Game officer nearby, way way up the mountains ..... enjoying a coffee and donut who could go make a fast Franconia Ridge hiker rescue, day or night ...... 24/7! ..... all 7-months, winter long .....

Looking at this picturesque photograph of the well constructed and equipped Greenleaf Hut, it's easy to imagine a winter sublet to a mountain Dunkin' Donuts for a 7-month long winter lease. That mountain in the background is 5249' ..... www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Lafayette. "A photo .... https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Laf...te_panoram.jpg ... of the Franconia Ridge as viewed from the Greenleaf Hut" with Eagle Lake between the hut and Mt Lafayette.

A Dunkin' would do some good business in that there Greenleaf Hut, Old Bridle Path winter hiking location. .......

People could climb Mt Lafayette during the cold snowy months knowing there's a Dunkin' on the trail so's they can stop and get a hot bite to drink/eat and go inside warm building that smells like good strong coffee and donuts. What's not to like? It would be an instant hit-the-spot!

Lost souls on the verge of suicidal winter hiking without adequate warm clothing and a serious wind breaker, face mask, hat and large mittens would defer freez'n to death, up the cold mountain, when they can go rethink their life ending plan while enjoying a good hot coffee and a yummy old fashioned sugar donut. There's no yummy sugar donuts down there in Hell, you know. ......

Hey ..... anyone remember the snack shack from the 1960's and earlier at the ranger station at the base of Tuckerman's Ravine named Howard Johnson's because it originally had an orange roof. That was a popular place to get a yummy cheeseburger and a Coke in a paper cup for about $1.25.
