Laurie, Ketchikan about 150 miles by water away and is a small city not any metropolis. They have Costco, WalMart, and other stores there. Petersburg and Wrangell use these and take their cars by ferry to haul their stuff and the neighbors supplies to them. But you must know they go there only once or twice a year. All local stores a completly supported by all the people who live there no matter what the cost of anything. In Wrangell the pharmacy is very costly and they all use his services. If not, they will not have any services. Each burrough is on there own islands and they have long travel to get to their neighbors. Petersburg is about 2 hours by fast boat if the weather is good and 6 hours riding up and down the big ones. This picture is the route that they take top and to the left is Wrangell narrows 20 miles long going to the right to Petersburg and at the bottom is about the same distance seen in the picture going between islands to Wrangell. Then Wrangell is about 100 miles of inland waterway to Ketchikan. I plan on sailing my open dory to that town next summer.
