ED,Craig,The hotel we staying at,What is the name of that thing and do they have a little ice box in the room??

Saturday the 20th was just another normal day for me. Wake up go to work a little rain, no big deal. I got a chance to get off work 2 hours early and decided after some short rain spells it would be nice to clear my head of this weeks hassles etc. I have grown up on reservation area of northern Arizona and never gave going to another Reservation close by a second thought. I knew of an area that had some little discovered desert area and thought this is the place I would go. After driving about 20 min. I stopped at my location and locked the truck grabbed me a walking Cain with a magnet just in case, cause you never know.(Now I know some of you are thinking Trespassing But don't even go there with me) I walked around for about 2 hours and all while doing so I heard some gun shots out in the distance and it was not sporadic, It sounded like the occasional target practice. I was heading back to my truck as I heard an approaching vehicle. I kneel ed down not knowing what to expect. The truck was not on a road just 4x4ing over bushes and scrub heading toward a road I had just crossed. I saw the dust clouds clear and I it appeared that they took the road all the way back to the main road. About 10 min Later I could see the reflection of my truck and as I got closer I saw figures that had surrounded my truck! I could see these individuals banging rocks against my windows! Unarmed due to just being off work I did the 1st thing that came to mind. I shouted hey!!!!! The figures stopped and turned towards me. I figured they thought my truck was just abandoned and where trying to steal everything inside. As I approached I told them they could have everything inside trying to reason with them and I would be OK with that, Life sucks sometimes. One of them yelled at me Homie? Do you know where you are? I answered yes! I have been in the area before. They told me to drop my Cain and walk to the front of the truck, as I did that I told them I was unarmed and had no intention of doing anything to them. Before I could blink I had a pistol stuck to my head! I was thrust to the front of my truck with my head being pushed to the hood. I knew right there I was not going to see my family again. I was told I was part of an gang related activity and my day just went from good to bad. I just agreed to them with whatever they wanted. I was roughed up and was searched and everything I had was taken. My cell phone, House keys, work keys, shoes, work clothes, wallet, Everything I had in the truck. The whole time I was told not to make eye contact with them or they would shoot me on the spot, I then realized one of them climbed in the driver seat of my truck and started it. The main guy told me to stand up and look to the east. He then told me to start walking in that direction, I did. I waited to feel a very painful feeling enter my body(shot) IT DID NOT HAPPEN! He jumped in the truck and both trucks took off. I could not believe what had just happen, did this just happen!!! I jogged the best I could to a road where a rancher saw me and called the tribal police. Long story short and still no end to the story, Always be aware of all your surroundings, Let someone you know, know where you are going, carry a weapon, These days we live in are getting bad. Even if I would have had a gun I probably would not have used it but I would have felt less helpless. Stay away from Most Reservations, you are no longer on your turf, The rules are very different, and if I was shot and if the FBI did not get involved it would have only been a misdemeanor! I feel very lucky to be hear today and my family is as well, Hope my lesson learned will also help someone else in the future!
