On the 14th, I had dinner with Andrew Case at King Salmon. He treated!! After dinner, he said he felt like going for a walk, so we went down to Mountain Works (they are an outdoor store). I bought a cozy wool shirt. On the way back to the truck, I left Daniel a message that said something to the effect of, "Daniel-sir, it is a very clear night. I would like to request your magic to make the Northern Lights come out". When I got home, I was feeling peaceful and docile. I decided I would go out to see if the lights were visible close to 11. I no sooner got past Keith's than I saw bright lights. They were so bright, I thought that they couldn't be THE Northern Lights. I pulled over, turned off my headlights and couldn't believe how magnificent they were! I called Daniel to wake up, but to no avail. I decided I couldn't be the only one to enjoy this phenomena of nature, so I went back to the Stampede and knocked on his door. After the second tap, he got up. He instantly wanted to come see. We woke up Emily to go with us. Once we got out to Eight Mile Lake, we pulled out the chairs, sleeping bag and tripod. We enjoyed the show for well over an hour. The pictures just don't do it justice. But here is a small taste with the Big Dipper hanging out. Look closely or you might miss it!
