I would really like to take a trip to Alaska most likely around Sept. probably rent a cabin or something and see the Northern Lights.
Does anyone have any recommendations or useful advice about making this happen?

Defiantly. A cousin of mine goes every year. One year he was showing me pictures of himself fly fishing when a bear waded out into the river and started fishing right next to him.
And that's a ugly ass fish... what is it?

That's what I thought it was and I love fishing I just never had much love for bug eyed fish. However I do find them to be tasty.

he was de-pressurized.
when i pulled him up, his swim-bladder was over-inflated and his eyes were bugged out..
they dont normally look like that.
usually happens when you pull em up too fast, but i fought with him for a while.. dude was way, way down.. i reeled slowly but sometimes just cant help it..
i woulda released him if he wasn't all jacked up.

see what im talkin about?
poor fella.. i didn't even get to eat 'em they ate him after i left..

visiting Alaska and seeing the northern lights are both on my list of things to do. I figure I'd do them at together and save a bit of time. And from what I've read the equinox's are the best time to see them (hence Sept.)

Alaska is awesome. I stayed there for a week a few years ago and loved it. Definately go dog sledding if you can, its so amazing.

There is not a lot of difference between a fox hole and a grave; but knowing that you dug your ditch and climbed in anyway.
