I remember that! I bought one too. Don't think I could prove it anymore though.Retired Guy said:When I was a kid - about 55 years ago, Nabisco Shredded Wheat cereal had a deal where you could buy a square inch of Alaska for a penny or maybe a nickle - I forget. My brother and I both bought one. Never made the trip to check them out though.

"Santa Claus House". Fun place to visit.
There you could buy 1 sq foot of Alaska too, signed by Santa Claus for $1.
I bet my wife has them somewhere.
Alaska still has some remote parcels cheap. It's just getting there, you need a plane.
Snow showing signs of melting on the South faces of the pic, FINALLY

I bet a road goes right up to that square inch of AK
bogydave said:The area is on perma-frost. So no septic with a leech field, pump out tank when full, but has to be insulated so it don't freeze
Most people use an insulated cistern & haul water.
Footers for homes I think are on pilings so the ground can move up & s down around them.
Lots of special building rules & permits, close to a national park & very very cold & windy in the winter.
Don't know all the specifics & don't want to.
Hawaii a good place to live in the winter if your from Healy
