But then, there are no caves in AZ to speak of (spelunker mantra ).
There is something hokey about this story.I doubt he was
"The Descent", "The Descent 2", and two other movies called "Descent" are all
available from Netflix also. That way if you don't like the trashy caving

For $41K, I sure wouldn't want to get any cave-mud in it! I'd also be working

We are having one more Sunday Swim this Sunday (Sept 19th) partly to celebrate
the return of clear water and great flow in the creek, and partly to serve as a
staging ground for a short visit to Hippie Hollow later in the afternoon,

I have the Scurion K, which puts out 1200 lumens on the high setting.
Its the best thing ever, and blows away the sten. Sten users I have

The first "Descent" was well ... anyway because it is a cave movie I'll get

Just a short correction. The regional position is for Region 2 of the USFS.
The district position is for the Guadalupe District on the Lincoln National

Another correction is in order.
NM and AZ are in USFS Region 3, not 2.

Because of the heavy rains last week, the TSS postponed its monthly
volunteer night to this coming Wednesday, 22 September. If you want to
look up cave info, copy maps, and help with the myriad chores of
maintaining the state-wide cave archives, then come to the 3rd floor of

If you really want a kick-a** light, get a Scurion 1300 lamp head.
They claim to be 1300 lumens on the high setting. They make Sten

You can buy a bike holder as an option, or an orienteering head strap.
They're also more waterproof
What stenlight is calling lumen 2 is the same thing your bike light is calling

John, I've never used the Sten, but I recently picked up one of these:

It doesn't have a diffuser on this light, so it has quite the beam on it,
but they do make a decent diffuser that will snap onto the light which works

As I read that chart, the "2" refers to the technical note No. 2 at the bottom
(which reads "calculated based on LED output and optical efficiency of lenses
