Dancing Northern Lights and an Incredible Arctic

Just a note, the trip you planned for us was absolutely “Amazing”. Everything about the trip was magical. The plane trip into Bettles in the snow where we befriended a local Eskimo, who gave us so much information that you just can’t get from tour books. The weather had been predicted to be cloudy all the time and the lights were supposed to be “quiet” however the 2nd night the skies cleared to an absolute stunning blackness with a billion stars and the lights danced for 2 hrs. The people there are so wonderfully accommodating and the food was great. We changed our dog sledding to an all day 25 mile trip into the wilderness with Sven Hartmann and would never have thought how great that would be. The Yukon Quest ended right across the parking lot from the Fairbanks Hotel and the absolute best was making friends with the Train Engineer and Conductor on the way to Anchorage. Harry the Conductor, saw some Caribou in a field but because it was snowing so hard we missed it. He grabbed his radio and said Ill stop the train and back it up so you can see them…………… The whole trip was like that. Take a look at the (2) YouTube videos I did about the dog sledding trip. Make sure to note to look at the last (2) photos of the Aurora, these are our photos and not photo shopped. That is the Big Dipper over the Ranger Station. Thank you so much for doing this for us; it was sooooo worth the time.
