Used to love it when an entrepreneurial day hiker would lug a couple cases of Budweiser up to the lunch rocks and sell singles for $3 each (a case cost about $10 back then). When your camping up there for three days and you had to lug a winter sleeping bag, food, a water filter, a couple bottles of hard liquor, a couple changes of clothes, skies, poles, and ski boots up Mt. Washington, beer was priceless. We would buy every beer they carried up there, for whatever they wanted for them ($20 bills were light). We quickly learned you had to sleep with the beers inside your sleeping bag or they would freeze and the cans would explode. Fast forward 40 years and now we float around in our heated pool in Florida and drink frozen Margaritas during the winter. How times change when you get old.
