In **very** small towns, you can generally call the town cop and ask what time
of the morning he generally checks the airport. (S)he will ask why, and you say
that you are a visitor that would really like to get rolling at that hour and
wondering if you can bum a ride. 95% success rate.

In *small* towns, you are at the mercy of the local motel owner. Sometimes you
can prevail on them to let you use one of the owner's vehicles and leave the key
for later morning pickup by them. 50% success rate.

In larger towns, the taxis run all night long.

So we were
-wondering, is anybody up that early in the smaller towns to give a
-lift to the airport?? How do you dawn patrol types get to the airport
-early?
