Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Wife said she saw a little bit of green wavy about 0015 last night. She said it was hard to see/recognize. Maybe it was in her mind but she said she saw it. I was hoping for more.
Imagine this picture with blowing snow and in the dark and you'll get a feel for what the Borealis looked like for us.
Then imagine taking Friday off for work and taking your kid out of school so you don't miss a once in a life time opportunity. Then picture yourself putting tire chains on someone else's bald ass tires halfway up Berthoud pass in a blizzard at around 10 pm. That should give you a feel for our overall disappointment for that whole trip. Not to mention the part where I went to bed at 3:00 am, got up at 4:45 am in order to escort previously mentioned SUV using my tire chains back over the pass so I could take the chains off before they hit I-70. The trip from the cabin to Empire, and back to cabin took over two hours and was 70ish miles. All on 1.5 hours of sleep. I got back just after 7:00 am, drank half a beer, and fell asleep till around 12:00 noon.

Irving, you are way too nice. Sounds like a rough couple of days. I do love the snow though.
Yeah, despite how it sounds, I liked the experience. I've never actually put chains on a vehicle before, so trial by fire was nice. Also, I liked going up to the cabin in the winter as we hardly get up there. Driveway was 36" + deep of snow, AFTER the 4 foot berm from the plow, so we had to park at the neighbors. Anyway, even though we didn't see anything green, the moon looked cool at one point. HA!

Stuving, you should have driven north towards the lights, that way you may have been able to see something. The only time I've seen the lights was on a fishing trip driving to northern Manitoba in 1982 with my dad. By the time we were in South Dakota at night we were already able to start seeing lights low in the northern sky. Every night for the week in northern Manitoba the entire north half of the sky was lit up. That's a trip you should do with your kid, it's something I'll never forget.

Yeah I guess so. That trailer has been parked next to it each time I've been up there as well.
