Was Gallien right?

In the book Gallien knew where the Alaska State Troopers maintained post and said he considered going and informing the authorities about Chris McCandless and his whereabouts. Do you think Gallien was right to not inform them or should he have done so? Would it have made any difference for Chris or would the outcome have been the same.
Personally I don't know if the outcome would have changed because of how determined Chris was but if I were Gallien I probably would have gone and informed the authorities

Yes he was right in not saying anything to the state troopers because thats nobody's business but Chris'. Chris was going to do his thing no matter what.

Personally, I think it wouldn't have changed anything even if Gallien had told them about Chris. Chris would have done the same thing whether or not Gallien told. Chris is a very independent person and nothing could change the way he felt about this adventure.
