This week: secrets hidden in the basement? 🗃️

Hatcher Pass Lodge 📍 Palmer, Alaska, USA 📸 Ashley Knott

Lighting bills in Alaska during summer? Practically nonexistent. Thanks to the tilt of the Earth’s axis, the state soaks up sunlight nearly all day long. Head farther north and it gets even wilder as residents experience the “midnight sun,” nearly a full 24 hours of daylight. Perfect for late-night hikes… less perfect if you forgot the blackout curtains.
