Airport Ride Share

We created a Google Sheet to help coordinate ride share. We know travel in Alaska can be incredibly difficult because of the lack of public transportation and high rental car costs. If you have an extra spot in your car, we would love if you could offer a ride to another guest. If you need a ride, please post and hopefully someone can help you out. While we will not be monitoring the sheet, please reach out if you have any questions or need help fingering out travel. Jamie (732)567-0359 or Scott (814)706-6907
