Well, great news today! I made great progress in identifying an archeological site where I'm headed in (I hope) a few weeks. It is a native american temple and the walls are reputed to have some spectacular paintings. The cave is on a military post, on the range (which is "live") so I need an escourt from the PAOIC. I have the phone # of a photographer who documented the site long ago for additional info, but what I wanted to ask here is what kind of lighting gear that will work with my 8x10 that can I reasonably expect to cart up a one mile steep and slippery trail? Alas Milly the Mule, my "ASSistant," can't go on this trip. At the very least I'd want some kind of reflective panel but some kind of battery powered light would be nice---maybe on of the 500,000 watt rechargable mega flashlights from Costco?---most likely this will be a one of a kind opportunity unless, if its really cool, I can get a clearance for my Cub Scout den to make the hike in a few years.

Any thoughts?
