the 2 earthquakes knocked out the ACS (Alaska Communication Systems) data center & a handful of vendors in town are NOT able to run debit OR credit cards... may want to warn the group to keep some cash on them!
also some hotels & businesses are reporting internet outages too...

It is possible to take Capital Transit from the airport to JNU proper. However, I don't think the express service runs on the weekends. Not sure about other options for rides.

I am on the 6:55 p.m. flight tonight ANC - JNU. There is also an 8:10 p.m. departure. You won't make either of those?

The Delta flight that I am on right now is due in at 2105. The original arrival time was 1935 so I thought I could make it on the 2010 ANC-JNU flight.
So I'm either overnighting in ANC or going ANC-SEA-JNU...
2010 was delayed a few nights ago, but probably not enough for your flight. AS70 continues onto SIT later after stopping in JNU.
9 minutes from pulling into JNU.

There are worse airports to sleep at. Or, this charming place has "one room left" according to Orbitz:

I'd take a peek above at the 'mini museum' has some ok places I've taken a few Z'zzs at. There is even a restroom up top as you walk towards the C gates.

Fortunately I've found a place to stay at tonight!
I should be on the AS flight arriving at 0935 into JNU tomorrow morning.
How far is Mt. Roberts from the Airport? I really want to get some hiking in.

The walk would be longer than the hike.
Nice dinner so far . Sorry you didn't make it.
