Do you have any idea *how* expensive the permits are? (I've always
wondered.) (This is starting to look like a business I want to get into!)

I do find $150/day to be rather expensive when the accommodations have to be
carried on one's back. Consider that you could go on a "fully supported"
cruise, with food and permits paid, for the same amount.  :)  But a lot less
satisfaction...  :)
