This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have custom fields in two different post types that contain similar values. I would like to filter post type A by the custom field value in post type B.
Solution: Use a Query Filter that responds to a shortcode attribute, and set the attribute value using the raw types field data from the current post type.
[wpv-view name="your-lodges-view-slug" state="[types field='alaska-field-slug' output='raw'][/types]"]

Hi, I would set up a View of Lodges and add a Query Filter based on the select field, where the value is set by a shortcode attribute like "states" (see the screenshot above). In the Loop of this View, output the email address custom field and whatever other markup or information you want to include for each item.
Then in the Trip Request template or post body, place the Lodges View using a View shortcode and add the "states" shortcode attribute. Set the value of the states attribute using a Types field shortcode for the checkboxes field, raw output only, like this:
[wpv-view name="your-lodges-view-slug" state="[types field='alaska-field-slug' output='raw'][/types]"]
This filters the View of Lodge posts by the custom States select field, passing the value of the Alaska field from the current Trip Request post into the Query Filter. This is an example of passing arguments to Views: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views/passing-arguments-to-views/
Let me know if you need more information or if I misunderstood what you want to accomplish.
