Hmm, a town of 17. I’m not much concerned because I live in Texas. I think the strategy now after Waco, the feds are kept out. Plus if a small town was taken over and another move to the nearest town, word spreads fast here. I think the 3rd town may be a problem regardless of their mechanized divisions. We will prevail.
FYI... Chicken only exists due to miners and is actually one of the few surviving original gold rush towns left in Alaska. Basically it is only 7 or so people who live there year round, but more help comes in Summer to help run the cafe. This quaint little shack (decorated w/thousands of business cards hung on the walls by tourists), serves travelers to this remote area usually on buses or RV’s between Dawson City, YK and Tok, Alaska. It is a dirt road that is closed Fall to Spring. Named after the local bird Ptarmigan. WTF??? The miners couldn’t agree on the spelling of Ptarmigan, so to avoid embarrassment, they agreed on Chicken.
