  Jamie and Christian - the grand staircase to the stars -- at A Cloudberry Lookout -- September, 2003  

  Note:  Normally this young of a child is not allowed to stay - but this family knew me 

  and knew he would mind and not get hurt from the high stairs  -- 

  be sure to call and ask if you have little ones before making reservations!  

  This is Sean McGuire - the designer and builder of this most magnificent log cabin with 

 a 50 foot high warmed viewing tower for the auroral displays to be seen in the cold Alaskan dark skies  

  Sean is also written up in the Guiness Book of World Records!
