Not surprisingly, the photo in the tour brochure before we booked showed happy people around a campfire in what must have been the only 5 mins of real light.

Even with all our shoveling we could not get out today. Hopefully som e of my energy will return this afternoon and I can get out and shovel a little more. <br /><br />This book is right on the money. I have never seen the arctic lights in real time with out TV or video but would love to see them someday, however the twenty two hour night would depress me. The dark evenings now are all I want to take. <br /><br />Will put this book on hold at the lbirary. <br />clarbojahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08554871750348852894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171785485297377088.post-77382100319522091532016-01-24T06:35:38.255-08:002016-01-24T06:35:38.255-08:00I am headed out to help shovel.
