I guess that was my point of the whole thread. If you have never seen them in person you wouldn't understand. Ask others that live up here, I know what they will say. Sorry to have ruffled any feathers.

There is no doubt you see more up there and it is one of my wishes to see them in Alaska or the Yukon. However, there are many times in MI, especially northern MI (the UP) when there are fantastic. At times they will fill the entire sky and yes, they dance a lot. We always noticed that March seems to be the best month for viewing them but perhaps that is because so much of the winter the sky is cloudy in MI.
