They call it, "The Tepee Lodge." I think it is a translucent material, but that's juat what I've been told. I don't know for sure. Here's a picture I left out. It is the reason this Florida boy will never see again great sight.

They do have regular homes in Yellow Knife. With foundation, floors,walls and roof.
 I considered moving there, Lora would have none of it. I told her,I would move there by myself,then I remembered how cold it can get! Keep smiling, everyone will wonder what you've been up to! |

When I was about 14,in Duluth,MN., it was -65 wind chill.
Back in the day...you weren't cool if you wore a hat or ear muffs. I was outside about 10 or 15 minutes, my ears got a severe frost bite. Some of you know, when a frost bite thaws, it hurts. My ears swelled up and turned purple and it was about the worse pain I ever had. My mother used wash cloths with luke warm water to thaw them out. I learned my lesson...sort of, I began wearing ear muffs,still didn't wear a hat! Keep smiling, everyone will wonder what you've been up to! |

Our coasty daughter was stationed at Juno and Kodak our second daughter and family were medical missionaries in Glennallen AK for seven years. We visited them three times only once in December the other two times were in August. Four of our grandchildren were born in Alaska.
Do you know how to get from Glennallen to Anchorage: Continue on Glennallen Highway and take a left at the second traffic light you can't miss it. Oh, ya, I forgot to tell you, the first traffic light is 186 miles down the highway.

"Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?" - Gordon Lightfoot |
Just recently, I was looking up if and when we could see them here in New England. From what I can tell, we'd be best off to head up to Nova Scotia or something.
gedds.alaska.edu/AuroraForecast/ I need to find a related website like this one for people like me, "Aurora For Idiots". Maybe then I'd understand the system a bit more. We did see some of them on a cruise our cutter made one year up to the mouth of the St. Lawrence River before heading down to NY but nothing like the ones pictured above. Don |

When I was guiding up in maine I lived in Mattawamkeag on the Penobscot river. I used to take my sleeping bag outside in the dead of winter and wrap up and watch the northern lights for hours. They would sometimes be so intense you would hear a kind of snapping buzzing sound, very faintly, but it was there.
There was a comet going over at that time as well I don't remember the name but it was in 1990 winter for those who remember and that was the neatest thing the two of them together! T |

A poem I learned as a child, I thought some mingt find interesting:
There are strange things done in the midnight sun By the men who moil for gold; The Arctic trails have their secret tales That would make your blood run cold; The Northern Lights have seen ***** sights, But the *****est they ever did see Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge I cremated Sam McGee.
