And it’s over! The first night remains the best night, in terms of aurorae activity. We virtually had no aurorae on the second night. And while on the third night, there were some, but there were far less intense, of smaller sizes, and just far away above the horizon; compared to the beautiful first night. Some people in the group were up here in Whitehorse, only during my second and third night. I felt bad for them because they’ve missed out on what seemed to be a great show. They were disappointed. And I totally would be, if I were in their shoes.
Due to quieter second & third nights, people have spent more time around the camp fire, or inside the cabin, munching on snacks, and sipping on hot drinks. People shared their stories; where there are from, their lives back home, and how & why they came to see the aurora borealis. There even was a couple from Australia, in which the lady was named Aurora. There was this young South American guy who was trying to pick up this young (but older than him) Japanese girl. Let’s just say it was sad to watch!
Overall, I’m very happy with this trip. I’m very happy with the travel & tour company. If one wanted to do a little more activities during the day time, then I would highly recommend staying there for a couple more days. I had wanted to do snowmobile driving, but there was no interest in the group; to fulfill the minimum requirement of 2 persons. I also would’ve liked to go skiing at Mount Sima, but… not enough time. I’m checking out in a few hours, with my flight back home later in the afternoon. I suppose I could take a walk around downtown and the Yukon River trail; to kill time. For now… off to bed.
