The bar
After an hour we went to the bar to see if we could find some people. Bill went inside and asked. Finally someone even came outside to smoke. He told me that they spotted a brief aurora at the camp, not here, so they set off the alarm, just in case. We didn't stay out much longer. It was disappointing. Oh well. We had time and now we knew how it worked.
