Northern Lights! Northern Lights!

YOU GUYS. I went ALL the way to Iceland to see the Northern Lights (and I promise, I'll write about the trip soon), and then a week after I get back there is a freak auroral storm or something and they are predicting that people as far south as Oklahoma might be able to see them.  I was sick as a dog yesterday, but that was not stopping me from seeing it! I drove about an hour and half north of Minneapolis (had to get out of the city light pollution) and just as I was exiting the highway I got my first glimpse of green.  It was so cool!

I drove away from the highway and ended up parked on a dirt road next to a dairy farm -- those cows were mooing like you wouldn't believe!  And in the first 15 minutes I got a great show of green lights. My iPhone camera doesn't do it justice, but it was so cool!!
