"The early light of a new dawn grows stronger while the aurora fades into memory as seen from our Twelve-Mile Summit camp March 29, 2008 about 80 miles northeast of Fairbanks. I retired to my sleeping bag for a few short hours and woke to a blazing sun. Our little windbreak had turned into a great reflector and over our morning coffee we soon realized that we would surely fry in the intensified sunlight if we stayed too long. It was time to go so after packing our strung-out gear we started our three-day journey back to Homer. Copyright (c) Dennis C.
