This is the one picture of Chitina which actually
appeared on Northern Exposure in the early scenes of episode 1, season 6.
I was the only one I know to catch this and properly
identify it as a Chitina scene. Those are old converted CRNW speeders. The other
scenes which accompanied this one were all taken in Roslyn, Washington. This is
just one more confirmation of my assertion that mythical Cicely is partly based
or at least influenced by Chitina. --RS
