Comments to Doug

Hope you enjoyed the flight. If you have any questions or comments, you can contact me at contact@mistymoorings.com.

I would like to personally thank the United States Forestry Service for the information that helped make this document possible. Most of the information came directly from their websites and each website that we quoted is documented in the cabins sections by the cabin name. The "notes" section, below are active links directly to the US Forestry Service web pages. There is a great deal more information about the cabins on the US Forestry Service websites and you are encouraged to visit these sites to learn more about these unique cabins. Also, after flying virtually around Misty Fjords, you may suddenly have a desire to get out your 30.06 rifle, your sleeping bag, a few cans of beans and head for Misty Fjords and the cabins. If such a thought overcomes you, the links below will help you with reservations.

Again, our sincere thanks to the US Forestry Service ... not just for the information, but also for the wonderful cabins.
