I made it back into Bethel last night. Lot's of updating and pictures to add, both from Hooper Bay and from my weekend trip to the road system. But for now, here's something interesting that might give you an idea of what travel is like to and from the villages:
"Village Travel Check In: When traveling to/from remote locations that do not have a passenger terminal, you must check-in with the village agent at least two hours prior to departure. Village flight routings are subject to change at any time and may result in earlier or later departure times than scheduled. "
You basically find out when the plane is coming when the village agent makes an announcement over the VHF radio- about 10 minutes before it lands.
