In a nutshell, [our driver guide's] expertise transformed what would have been impressive sights of rugged landscape, history, geology and even politics, into experiences never to be forgotten! Our photographs are disappointing because good as they are, they fail to convey the feelings stimulated by the things we saw and did and the discussions we so thoroughly enjoyed. So although we didn't see the northern lights (too much cloud cover brought on by the rain gods) what we did experience far made up for that. -Ruth and Harvey Maibor
