Adventure
Year of the Hunter
Sixty-one-year-old Piper's hair was heavily streaked with gray, which made her pistachio-green eyes stand out more. She had lived in a tiny Alaskan village northeast of Anchorage her entire life. It was remote and accessible only by snowmobile or plane (weather permitting) in the winter. Most residents were subsistence hunters, supplementing with salmon and wildfowl; gardens were abundant with the long days of summer, producing enormous cabbage, lovely potatoes, bean crops, and a wide variety of berries. Some still worked the Alaska Pipeline on a rotating schedule: one week on and one off of the North Slope. Others, like Piper's father, were employed by the Alaska Railroad.
