The first paragraph has the sentence, " It reportedly had hundreds of back roads covering nearly a million miles of wooded area." It is not clear from this if the roads are supposed to total a million miles in length, or if the wooded area is supposed to be a million square miles. Neither if these make sense. The entire state of Washington only has an area of 71,000 square miles. Alaska and Texas combined don't quite add up to a million. On the other hand, a million miles of "back roads" in even a huge wilderness area, doesn't make any sense. I don't know the strip source for this statistic, but I wonder if possibly a character could have been speaking figuratively rather than literally in describing either the length of the roads aor the area of the reservation.
