Up here we have block heaters around our batteries. My brother and I did make it home safe then. Much to my amazement! It was too cold for the northern lights that night, although the Moose were moving, saw 27. I was surprised by the signing in, My brother did not tell me what I was getting into, otherwise I think Little miss Fraidycat would have stayed home.<br />That was the last time I went up there, about 2 hours north of Fort Nelson, B.c. I sure as heck can not imagine going there on a horse as in the olden days. Have a Happy NEW yEAR, Be by to visit soon.Cindy https://www.blogger.com/profile/03552572705763406197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876843150877300869.post-21248793200916389852009-12-28T19:33:10.467-08:002009-12-28T19:33:10.467-08:00Cindy...did I read correctly? 40 degrees below zer...Cindy...did I read correctly? 40 degrees below zero. I didn't think that vehicles could travel in those conditions.....and when they took your name in case you didn't come back....sister, girl, that's when I would have turned my self 'round and headed back toward zero degrees (which is unbearably cold to me!)<br />Your writing is superb....you brought out the cold....the anxiety..the quietness of a place that no one was disturbing.....well, almost no one...and I was sooo glad to see that you made it safely...and into your warm bed....sigh.<br />P.S. Any Northern Lights?? :))<br />Thank you again.....so, very much!<br />Hugs,<br />JackieJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214796594702277709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876843150877300869.post-22129556826465219282009-12-28T18:54:57.358-08:002009-12-28T18:54:57.358-08:00Cora, this was a while ago, but it sure stays with...Cora, this was a while ago, but it sure stays with me, so decided to share it.

They give you so long and then they come looking for you. You would have been in photography heaven. You can not get up there in the summer as there is too much bogland and you can not drive the roads...as for brave, no, I had nowhere to go, and there were lots of times I just closed my eyes! lol...I am a big ole scaredy cat.<br /><br />SueAnn, It was a big 4 by 4 truck. No cars would have made it up there. It was an adventure for sure. Take care.<br /><br />ED. Sometimes our experiences do make for great writing.

Nelson, B.C. To me it was the edge of the earth. I was with my brother, I had gone with him for company for him. It really was a brutal trip because of the cold...but I would never of had the chance to go again, so I am glad I went. Hugs to you.<br /><br />Char, I'm with Beth too. lol. It was a good feeling walking through the door.<br /><br />Shadow, I am honored for the comment, and yes strange when we feel the most alive...I am glad I went, but my house sure felt good to get back to.<br /><br />TechnoBabe, I really had no idea what I was getting into, you could not see the road because of the snow, and there were places in the mountains, I swear I held on for dear life. What amazes me even more are the people that originally built the roads, or built the railways across the country. I am sure the stories they could tell. There was definately no place like home!Cindy https://www.blogger.com/profile/03552572705763406197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876843150877300869.post-68312259436357319742009-12-28T09:39:19.753-08:002009-12-28T09:39:19.753-08:00cinner, where were you?
