Hi...
One very cold winter day I came across two hitchhikers on a road in Yukon. They were Yukon Native Indians that had just come out of the bush, and were going back to their village with some martin furs they trapped. I took a couple of pics of them and their furs.
I gave them a ride to the trail going to their village. Along the way they asked me where I lived, and I told them AK. One of them asked me what part of Yukon that was...!! I tried my best to explain to them where it was, but don't think I succeeded.
Two winters later...in almost the same spot...one of those Indians was again standing along the road hitchhiking, and I gladly stopped for him.
But unknown to me, hidden in the brush, also was his wife, his dog, and two moose quarters. A bit of a surprise when they showed up, but I eventually made room for all. I also traded him some of my Copenhagen for some of his smoked salmon.
Conversations with them were always cordial and informative, which I enjoyed immensly.
You just never know who you're going to meet around the next bend, do ya?
