I witnessed a new Alaska State Troopers episode being filmed

[flex]

Yesterday I was at the Kenai Peninsula Fair at the Ninilchik Fairgrounds, which is a 3-hour drive from Anchorage.  I was there helping out with our company picnic which had about 100 of our members who live on the Kenai Peninsula there.  Along with all the fair vendors, etc. there was a rodeo going on close to where my pick-up was parked.  

Once our picnic was over and we had cleaned up, I was waiting for my co-worker to show up so I could drive her to the airport before I made the drive home.  It was a nice afternoon so I had my truck door open and I was watching what I could see of the rodeo when a State Trooper pulled up.  I saw someone on the passenger side when he passed by me, which I thought was odd because the troopers do not typically have a partner with them.  Turns out it was a camera man and he was filming whatever exchange was going on between a bunch of cowpokes on foot, plus there was a dozen cowboys on horses milling around warming up for the roping contest.  I really have no idea what the exchange was about, but one lady marched off, followed by the camera man, then marched back into the fray--still followed closely by the camera man.  The trooper was still there when we left.

I can't wait to see that episode!  Many of the episodes I've seen so far (I even know some of the people) are very entertaining.  I had no idea there was so much silly, drunken drama going on in my state.  lol

I love Alaska State Troopers! So cool that you saw part of an episode being filmed. Does a new season start soon?

I'm not sure about when the next season starts but I'll keep checking NGC on the regular for it.

Whenever I watch it I'm always picking out the areas I travel to on a regular basis. The farthest north I've been is Fairbanks so I'm unfamiliar with the villages. Interesting dynamic going on up there. Non-Native Americans are usually not welcome and met with a lot of suspicion.

There was an episode about 4 years ago that had several of my friends in it. They belong to a sober biker's club. They had a ride that day and when they were driving back to town, one of the wives fell off the back of her DH's bike and was hit by a truck coming the other way. It was a very sad thing. There was no alcohol involved--I think someone was goofing off and it ended tragically. Their faces and their colors were blurred out.

They film Wild Justice where I live. Everytime we see a fish & game warden we look for the cameras.
