Richard Proenneke.
He had to be interesting. I bet the grumpy people on this board had nothing on this guy. I really just want to ask him why he went to live there, and if he had it to do over again would he still do the same thing. I always watch the show on OETA when they show it.
You should come up here and fly out to his cabin. The National Parks Service maintains it. He was one tough nut.
