Sue, one of these days I'm going to make it to the Yukon during the winter! I know it'll be COLD but the scenery must be AMAZING!

BTW, your pictures are wonderful!

Winter (March) sunrise in Alaska, on the Glenn Hwy near the Matanuska Glacier

Each day you just don't know where the time goes. First trip we found ourselves often eating well past 9. This after being in the CG by 4, having a snack, because we did not have any lunch, socialising around the CG, next thing we knew it was well past dinner time.

In June all that daylight really messed with the biological clock in the stomach. Staying up late looking for animals lurking in the bushes did not help much either.

Trips #2 & #3 have taught us to watch the clock a little more. Sleep is no problem without any special window screens.

When I worked in Anchorage we has a 4th floor office facing the mountains, with a clear view. Winter sunrise was around 9am and most days the mountains would turn a raspberry sherbet color for maybe 30 minutes at sunrise, and again for sunset around 3pm. In summer the light was great, get off work Friday and pack up and head out for the weekend, drive for a couple hours, set up camp and still time to fish or hike. Love that summer sun.

I was stationed near the arctic circle in the Air Force and worked shifts. I remember walking outside at 2:00 a.m. and it was still light enough to read. In the winter when I worked days I never saw the sunshine. I worked in a windowless command post. It was dark when I got to work and dark when I left to walk home.

Sunset in Indiana is scheduled for 6:46 PM today (Thursday). By 7:00 pm, we're all ready for bed. By 8:00 pm, it seems like we've been awake all night. I can't believe we are going to bed this early! It's crazy!

We've never had a problem sleeping on our visits to Alaska, and we've always just tented it. I guess we were so active and busy during the day, our bodies were just ready for some rest.

The time we most observed the late sunset was in Anchorage. We'd gone out to eat at the Snow Goose Restaurant and had to wait a long time for a table on the deck. By the time we'd finished eating, I got up to leave and realized it was well after 10:00 p.m. and I still had my sunglasses on! The view of Mt. McKinley in the evening glow was awesome.

I just pull the sheet over my head.
