Need some sunshine up here...

It's been raining/overcast since Mon night. The ATV trip was cancelled, and I've been essentially recuperating. I didn't realize how beat I was from the 7,500 mile trip. It's been nice not having to drive since I checked in on Sunday night. Everything is close enough to walk to (except the movie theatre, which is on the other side of town). Tomorrow and Saturday seem to be the best weather days on the near horizon, So I guees I will head for McKinley. Next weeks forecast is RAIN all week, starting on Sunday. I think it's safe to say that the northern lights are hard enough to catch in twighlight, impossible in rain or overcast conditions... I don't think I will linger too long or push too far north at this time. The Last Frontier will retain it's wild and remote treasures under a shroud of mystery for now. I definitely will consider coming back up here at a later time (booking a flight next time). Anyways, Just wanted to touch base and let you guys know that I am well, and planning the final leg of the first half of my trip. I am ready for the return journey and all the things and people I will see along the way.
