I've lived in Alaska on and off for almost a year now, and still haven't seen the Northern Lights, so when I checked the University of Alaska-Fairbanks aurora page and it said the aurora was going to be active the next few nights, well, let's just say that I'm throwing some food, water, and clothes in the car at 8:30 p.m., and heading farther north, in search of clear skies.
Adios, amigos ...
Epilogue
It ended up taking nearly an hour longer to get on the road, and ... well, I'll skip all that. The image below shows the Facebook postings I made for my friends. The big gap between "12 hours ago" and "9 hours ago" was due to losing cellphone reception somewhere north of Trapper Creek, and south of Cantwell, aka, "The Dead Zone".
So far I've put one photo from last night's adventure on my One Man's Alaska website at this URL on my Northern Lights trip.
