When Jacksonville, Florida resident Patricia Agness decided that she wanted to see America she made an unorthodox transportation choice: She hired a taxi. David C.L. Bauer of the Florida Times-Union writes that Agness secured the services of two local cabbies and set out for Juneau, Alaska. Less than halfway through the 10,000-mile round trip, however, the driving duo dropped out. Bauer reports that Agness hasn’t been fazed. She found a new cabbie in Santa Barbara and is currently making her way up the Pacific Coast. “I needed to get away,” says Agness, “and this is the best way to see the open road.” Maybe she has a point.

We watched the Alaska programs most of the week-end. If I were free, I’d love to go up there for summer.  Beautiful place & the animals look much better than all the people here. Loved seeing the bears. Thanks for putting it on TV.
