Living at 41.14°N does not lend itself to many aurora borealis, or northern lights, sightings. All my times seeing them had been in Iceland, or en route to Iceland on the plane. So when a mega geomagnetic storm (coronal mass ejection) made it possible to have a KP index of 8 in Cheyenne, Wyoming, on… Continue reading Microadventure: Northern Lights Chasing!

The Adventuring Heidi

September 10, 2021 Time to pack up and move to another spot! After three nights at Madison, I was looking forward to new scenes and rejuvenating my energy for the rest of my eight day trip. I'd be heading south for a one night stay at Grant Village before heading up back north for a… Continue reading Caldera Tales – Day 5: Lone Star Geyser, West Thumb Geyser Basin, and Yellowstone Lake
