Fairbanks Snow Travelers

Now I have an issue with this, a big one. Especially the comment:

Reports that bandits on snowmachines are trying to ambush and rob travelers outside Bethel

Bethel is a community of 6,000 and lots of cabins in the surrounding bush. The only way in or out is by plane or very long snowmachine ride, assuming you could find or haul enough gas to get out.

So why are they "Snowmachiner terrorist". You don't see then writing American Airline Terrorist, or Volkswagon Terrorist, their just terrorist. But nope, the papers have to get some big A-s headline and give snowmobilers a bad rep yet again.

Good thing their not on dog sleds, then they'd be the the "puppy" bandits, of course that wouldn't be social acceptable seeing how puppies are so cute and the ASPCA would have a cow over that headline.

Although I don't agree with their resolution, at least this was specifically a snowmobile issue.

With that said, if the rangers were to make, groom and pack a trail they probable wouldn't have as much trouble.

But alas, we all have to deal with the occansional idiot ;)

Interesting. Thanks.
