    It would take someone like the film crews from National Geographic to put in perspective. If you have seen any of the National Geographic special on northern lights or milky way, that's the stunning we witness.

    I've seen very faint red ones. I would love to see them in all their glory with minimal artificial light.

    We see them quite often in winter, but not as pronounced as we saw in Manitoba. Yours are yet far beyond what I've seen

    It was a good National Geographic light show.

    I want to see them before I die. It's on the bucket list. One of the beautiful parts of nature to me. Thank you very much for sharing.

    Thank you. It’s worth the trip, you may not want to go back to Merica. There are many pics I don’t take, not enough time in the day.

    There is so much to see, can’t wait to meet everyone from FHC that meanders up.

    Well Tom, it's been 40 years now since we paid a visit to your state. Methinks it is about time we change that one!

    Yessir, we sure need a visit. Look forward to meeting you. I am up in Fairbanks, for a supply run. Bet there’s not much change in 40 years. Couple of stores/ hotels much else.
