Does anyone know if you can take an Uber/Lyft from New Salem State Park to downtown Springfield? Thank you.

This may help, though I've never used it

Most ubers charge a bit extra for me. I like to ride with the windows down and stick my head out a bit to take in all the different scents. I shed a lot and when excited I drool a bit, and bark when I see something interesting.

Fido, you doggie charm will earn you free rides from admirers. Don't waste your money on a taxi!

I tried the site that Gene generously provided, and I batted .500. In mock trials, going from New Salem to the Old State Capitol, one time I could get a ride the other time "unavailable". The cost was $38.00. I always wanted to go to Springfield on February 12th and participate in some of the activities. I remember being at the AL Airport after 5-6pm on one occasion, and it was dead, with no restaurants or anything else open. I guess Springfield is still "small" when the legislature is not in session.
