Walking down 4th Ave. in Anchorage the day after the BIA checks were cashed, we were stepping over passed-out drunks.

Yes, I encountered two of them, in their boat, me eating on the river bank (Yukon). We were a hundred miles from the closest human being. I was on the river bank eating a Salmon I had just caught and cooked. They stopped. Several guns could be seen in the bottom of their boat. My Remington 12 gauge was laying on my lap as I sat in a chair and ate. We had tense chat about 2 minutes. They left. Had the shakes for a while after and all night.
