Day 4: The Artic Circle and Aurora Homestead

We had originally booked the Aurora Fly/Drive that was to fly us to Coldfoot and then drive us back to Fairbanks. However, due to weather, we were diverted to Bettles and then had to fly back to Fairbanks from there. That did give us some extra time to rest at the hotel before being booked on the Aurora Homestead tour that allowed us to meet up at the place where we would have ended our adventures watching for the Aurora. We were so lucky that after the days of cloudy weather, the skies cleared that evening and allowed for some Aurora viewing. We were very pleased with what we saw that night. Little did we know what lay in wait for us the next night!
