Today the Siks figure there are about 1,500, stretched over a wide area, and there is a town, or rather a cluster of highway businesses, a post office, a police station, a school and four churches, known as Trapper Creek. "We thought of calling it Bradleyville," says Carol. "We thought of Little Michigan. But that idea was dropped right away. After all, this is Alaska, not Michigan. But most of us lived on Trapper Creek, so that's the name we settled on." Despite Shorty's prediction, very...
...they were finishing their new three-bedroom house, they again got wanderlust. With their daughter and the two boys who had been born in Alaska, they moved to Las Vegas, where Marino ran a gas station. "We wanted to show our kids there was something more than just Trapper Creek," says Carol. They stayed three years, then moved back to the homestead.

Nervous, but not scared, or hiding anything. Conventioneers will be offered a three-hour tour ranging from preppy Southern Methodist University to single-family ghetto homes, from the J.F.K. assassination site to the astonishing wealth of Turtle Creek. They will see Highland Park, just a nine iron away from the Dallas Country Club, the area's most exclusive. In Highland Park Village, even the Safeway is disguised as a hacienda. Throughout the town, in the rich north and the poor south, the visitor will notice crape myrtle in full, riotous bloom-the only living thing that seems to enjoy...
