Oops, my bad. And to make it even worse, a former coworker's parents were taxi drivers in Bethel. I should have remembered.
I should stick to what I know (Anchorage and Fairbanks). If AS ever publishes non-price-gouging fares to some of these cities, perhaps I'll get a chance to visit some of them...
(To be fair to my memory, there *was* an article in the ADN about a taxi driver in Barrow a few years ago. It's a little less happy of a story, though. IIRC--and it's likely I'm not RC--he was shot by some of the troubled (and perhaps drunk) youth there...)
