<div dir="ltr">In reading over a proposal in here for apartment
sharing that included a list of other tourism keys relating to
lodging or accommodation that included, among other remotely
located shelters, the value wilderness_hut. We have 60 such
wilderness cabins and 4 ice huts in Alaska managed by the Alaska
Department of Natural Resources. They are scattered here and
there in the wilds, have wood or oil heat, pit toilets, bunks
for up to 8 people, and are unreachable by the highway system.
Access is by hiking, or by boat or small plane.

I am proposing adding the words "typically not accessible
from the highway system" to the definition for
wilderness_hut in the Map Features; Tourism section.
Currently it says: "A remote building with fireplace
intended to provide shelter and sleeping accommodation."</div>
<div><span style="background-color:rgb(249,249,249)"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="background-color:rgb(249,249,249)">Also I
think the term fireplace is too restrictive. I would
propose "usually equipped with a heat source of some
type"</span></div>
<div><span style="background-color:rgb(249,249,249)"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="background-color:rgb(249,249,249)">The
complete definition might read:</span></div>
<div><span style="background-color:rgb(249,249,249)">"</span>A
remote building <span
style="background-color:rgb(249,249,249)">usually
equipped with a heat source of some type and typically
not accessible from the highway system</span> intended
to provide shelter and sleeping accommodation."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I use the words "typically" and "usually" because there
are 722 instances of such huts and I do not know if those
other places have road access or not. The ones in Alaska
do not.</div>

<div>What do you think?</div>
