It's all down hill from here. :(

Here in the NWT June 21st is not only the longest day of the year it's a stat holiday.

Unfortunately it also signals a time when the days are going to get shorter until there is way more dark than light and temps drop to -60.

Today 3 hours and 59 minutes of dark, December 21st, 3 hours and 59 minutes of light.

 

 

But there is good news. With every passing day the time until my yearly Alaskan vacation is that much closer.

T minus 76 days and counting!!!

That's actually really depressing.

 

Sigh.

Dave, I think we saw run rise just after 5am and sunset at just past 10pm while up at the camp a week ago. Pretty cool to have that much daylight... More time for fishing!

[Slop]

Dave I've seen the same thing when I've fished the Attawapiskat in the past. I'll be up that way in a few weeks to be tortured with long days. So much night fishing is ahead in the fall and winter months. Could'nt be happier.

Actually there is no official darkness in Yellowknife right now, while the sun may set it doesn't go far enough below the horizon to be fully dark, it is one of the things i miss most about living there, 24 hours of daylight/twilight is pretty cool.

[Tarzan's Jane]

twilight is pretty cool.

 

 

why thank you

 

I wouldn't mind experiencing that much daylight - but I would be outta there with that much darkness.

I'm with you Dave!

C'mon September
