The list nobody Instagrams. Where to grocery-shop on a Saturday afternoon. Which gas station's open at 11. Where the pharmacy is at six on a Sunday. The closest urgent care if the kid hits the dock the wrong way.

A full-service grocery and general-merchandise store on the Parks Hwy in Wasilla, the closest major supermarket to Big Lake.
A 125-bed hospital with a 24-hour emergency department on S Woodworth Loop in Palmer — the principal hospital serving the Mat-Su Valley, including Big Lake.
