Gallien and the Police

He figured the benefit Chris would receive from the trip to the ranger station wouldn't be worth the trip. How is the ranger supposed to know what to do? Why would he even care? If he went up to check on McCandless then McCandless would just tell him to fuck off. Gallien probably just didn't think it was worth it. It could have saved his life, sure, if the Ranger continued to visit McCandless. But the Ranger could easily just think "I sure got better things to do than help this kid out in the middle of nowhere." And being from the lower 48, you have to ak yourself "what is there to do in Healy, ALASKA!?" Yeah, I don't know either. Personally, I would have done the same thing. I wondered if I would have gone to visit, though. Like, check up on him on the way home to Fairbanks instead of asking a ranger to do it.

I also wonder why no one went to the bus while McCandless was there. Summer time in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness has to attract more than just some crazy kid looking for himself.

Hello, I'm Graham.


Yes, Graham. Like the cracker. Easy for you to remember.


I am from Bellevue and grew up a Coug. Didn't grow up thinking I would be one, but here I am in Pullman. I hope to be a mechanical engineer because I hear they get paid well. Sounds nice. But really it's because I have always done pretty well in physics and chemistry over the years so I figured it would be a good fit. English is not my favorite, but I'm committed to do the work. Other than that I suppose it is important to know I like sports, especially cougar sports.
And this Picture of Kyle Weaver couldn't make me happier.
