Lava tube! Laaavaaa tuuuuuuuube

[gement]

Washington State has one of the best publicly accessible lava tubes, Ape Cave.

I'm going! Along with J and corivax, who is kind enough to drive.

If you peruse the official site, you will note it suggests two light sources per person.

... I own one tiny flashlight.

While I should own more flashlights, I don't own flashlights and headlamps for everyone, and headlamps seem to run $20 each, which is a lot for something I won't use a lot.

Anyone Seattle-ish care to loan me some light sources?

Long battery life and standard batteries sound like the top of my list. Red mode and a couple brightness settings sound like excellent features to have as well, if they are available in lower-end varieties.

I'd probably like to buy a head lamp and three handhelds for my household.

I'd like to spend no more than $30 per light source if possible. Except for this rare excursion, I don't leave Seattle much, so parks, back yards, and power outages.

Thanks for the sample menu; that's really helpful!

Pickup logistics: While I was planning on curtailing it this week, I usually have a standing Thursday evening social round on the hill. Will you be around Thursday evening? If so, that tips me over into "go anyway, just go home early."

Otherwise, I work downtown business hours and would be happy to buy you a beverage of choice and try to meet you halfway to work out a drop-off.

Sorry for the lag there... unexpectedly difficult dentist stuff ate me. Okay, for your price point, I'd try something like this handheld (doesn't get you red mode, does get you standard batteries and a couple brightness settings), and something like this headlamp. I'm ordering one of those latter myself, to replace the destroyed one.

I will be around Thursday, but I may go to martial arts that night, so I'd be leaving fiveish if so. What time is your engagement?

Thanks for the recs!

I usually leave work at 5 but could leave early if necessary to catch you? Or catch you on the flipside? Not sure what time you get home. My other engagement is at Pho Cyclo on Broadway; I'm not sure where you are but I'd be happy to buy you a food or beverage if it makes a rendezvous more appealing.

I work from home, so I'll be here for the majority of the day. Mayhem and I were talking about maybe doing a furniture ordering run over lunch tomorrow, though, so if we do that I might be able to swing downtown on my way there or back and do the handoff. Where downtown are you?
