If any humantraffickingfags are listening, please also look into the Alaska border.
Two years ago, my spouse and I witnessed some shady biz just a few miles on the Alaska side of the border station on the Alcan Hwy, at the first pullout you come to.
We were stopped there in our RV to eat some lunch, late Sept. So no one else around as most tourists are done up here that late in the year.
This pickup pulls in and stops way up at the end of the pullout. Two guys, neither gets out to take a whiz, they just sit there. No one else for miles, so I'm watching them close for our own safety. There's a avgas tank/pump in the bed, but that's not unusual, lots of Alaskans have small planes and airstrip.
After about 8 min. a semi fresh from Canada pulls in by them, and they get out and start talking. They keep glancing over at my RV, so we decide it's best we get going and let them do whatever they have to do.
Always assumed this was a drug deal, and maybe it was, but was the first thing I thought of after reading Doc's post.
