Take a look at this light and share if you see fit. I buy these for
construction work (Re-habbing old houses, maintenance inside of power
generation turbines.. Stuff like that), as well as caving. 3AA batteries give
over 6 hours of constant light. Spot and wide beam (or both).
Wow, this is sad news. After landing in Austin for a job, the UT caving

trips, and the Posse, and other events that orbited around the community..

It's an add on for an Smart Phone. Resolution is low, but so is the price.
Mine should arrive in June.

Thanks for the post.
Schoharie is just down the road from me, and the town was pretty much
washed away by the flood. I was in Canada when the storm hit, and
drove back to Schenectady through the aftermath. The trip took 4
hours longer, because of road closings and washouts. At 3:AM

and sold with the cave..

I bought the app. The topo maps are scanned (Some day we will have vector
maps). When the screen resolution goes above .5 mile, the
image automatically goes to the aerial view.
It takes 10 minutes to download a map section.
Sometimes when I pinch or spread the screen it drops pushpins instead.

It's not just Cheeseburgers that you can pack in for those long trips.
this site features a host of staples that have a long shelf life. The
last one is (by far the scariest).
I like the idea of a whole canned chicken myself. Perfect for a
shared meal after a long day of surveying.
They are for sale on Ebay, starting bid $14. Just the thing to
celebrate the final marker on a 3 day survey trip!
