My Friends Mom Moved to St Mary's Alaska back in 2012, to "Live out her Doctor Quinn, Medicine Woman Fantasies" as her kids put it...
practice medicine on the frontier basically...
St.Mary's is near the Confluence of the Yukon, and Andreafsky Rivers.
Remote enough there are 2 ways in... by air and Water. not on any external road network... vehicles come in on a Ferry up the Yukon River...
at one point, she was going to buy a car back here, and her Son and I were going to Drive it to Seattle, where we would load it onto a Ferry, I would Fly back, and He would continue on with it to St. Mary's, but that never happened.
at first she just had a Quad bike, but after a year or so, bought a used Subaru Forrester. that she turned around and made into a local Taxi... mainly to/from the airport, which is several miles outside town down a dirt road... ( with her Native GF as the "Cabbie")..
Really not sure what happened to that car when she relocated to Hoonah a couple years back, and last i heard, she was looking into Med. opportunities in either Barrow, or Deadhorse...
