Coming along.... I forgot to shot pictures, but my riding group had a nice going away party for me. Skyline chili, a movie and great friends. Thanks for the books, movie, local foods and all the awesome memories of riding with y'all the past 10 years!

More crap for sale on Craigslist and eBay. Yesterday I loaded/unloaded/sold almost 1200 pounds of scrap metal. Cleaning and packing is a real pain!

Will they ever learn? This young lady introduced herself to me by saying I hate being photographed, can this be quick? Nope, we wandered her building looking for the most graphic spot I could find....

The newspaper's first. A live broadcast of a mayoral debate held in the building. We set up 3 cameras, 7 wireless mics, 2 wired mics and I operated the tight camera while Scott played mix master.

I finally got tired of searching for bolts and spend hours separating all my bolts into bins with sizes. What fun!

12:30 rolls around and it's time to head home. Suddenly the lights get real active, so the bus pulls over and we pile out on the edge of a lake just outside Yellowknife. No words can describe this show, the movement, dancing display was awesome. I have to say thanks to my mom, who made this trip possible! Thanks, mom!

Our last night at Aurora Village. No one seemed ready to go tonight, but we bundled up for the last time and headed out. The night started like last night, a great start and then it slowed down. What I noticed tonight was the type of people that travel a long distance to Yellowknife in the middle of winter. A couple from Korea on their honeymoon, a woman and her grandson spending her ex-husband's life insurance payment or the family visiting their daughter spending a year volunteering at a woman's shelter in Yellowknife. All of them seem to believe all that wander are not lost.

An interesting day. The Ice Road tour (on the road made famous by the show Ice Road Truckers) was educational. For all those who have wondered how those how the Howes, MaryAnn, Ginger and the professor got on the SS Minnow for a 3 hour tour, I now know. They were stupid, just like us. Luckily we were not marooned.

That night it was -40 degrees Celsius, which is -40 Fahrenheit, that is not wind chill temp, that is air temp!!!
The Northern Lights started with a bang and petered out, at least in our jaded eyes, but was still a great show.
