Shasta on the Chena River, Fairbanks Alaska

We have to wear sleep masks, too, but it’s not from midnight sun. It’s from the danged street lamps that blaze from dusk (10 pm here) to dawn (around 5). Those light nights can open up possibilities that aren’t available south of about the 65th parallel, like a round of golf at midnight, a hike at 2, or fishing in a fjord at 1. The downside isn’t really the dark months, it’s the neighbor starting up the chainsaw or lawnmower at 3!
