Sweet! You can see it from here. The last time I saw it was a good 10 years ago; and it was red. My brother convinced my mom it was posionus gas and we had to go home. No joke.

Anyway, it looks really cool. Anyone else?

I tried, but it looks black. All I have is a dinky 2.1 MP camera.

The Northern lights are great. I once was treated to a show of curtain effects that when on for twenty minutes. You'd have thought the mothership had landed. 40 campers out in the middle of the Wisconsin woods laughing, cheering and applauding. Totally awesome!

Get outside now! Beautiful here in Mid Michigan. Kids also counted 11 shooting stars in 20 minutes of viewing! Amazing!
