A couple of years ago I spent a night on a mountain top in NC. I could see
about a zillion stars, and the milky way, which I hadn't seen (or, at least,
hadn't paid attention to) in years. One of these days I want to see the
aurora borealis, but figger I have to go to Alaska in the winter to do so.
Objective: catch native brookies in the daytime and see the milky way and/or
the aurora at night. I'd never leave.


Don't think you'd find many (any?) Brookies in Alaska. Substitute
northern Canada and you can get both the aurora and big Brookies.
