We were just southwest of Four Peaks from 8:20 to 9:10, and did not 
convincingly see a ruddy glow.  I will have to admit that we did see a couple 
Geminids.  The two photos taken with the 20mm lens (ISO 800, f/2.2, 20 sec.) on 
the car-roof tripod are here:

Pointer stars in the Big Dipper in the lower left corner of "noaurora1".  I 
particularly like the Beehive rising over Four Peaks in "noaurora2".
