Is there any trick to getting the people at reserve america to actually understand what you are trying to reserve? I was trying to get a reservation at one of the 6 shelters on the Ice Age Trail in the KMNU and no one knew what I was looking for. It took me 2 attempted (and cancelled) reservations before I actually got someone who know what I was looking for. First they want a park. Well these don't exist in any park (Long Lake, Mauthe etc). You ask for back back shelter (#1-6) and they continuously booked me in the group/horseback/backpack loop. Which I can do from the site if I wanted. It was incredibly frustrating. It took four phone calls to reserve (get email to find out it's not what I want) cancel and eventually find out that the shelter I want for my dates are all taken anyway. I saked the woman who (I think understood what I wanted) for what to ask for and she had no ideas or helpful suggestions for next time.
Anyone else deal with this? Maybe I am not being clear enough or explaining myself. I was reading off the DNR PDF that lists the sites and that did not help either.

If anyone has and tricks or suggestions I am all for it.
