This is the lantern we used to stack by after dinner on Wednesday night. We went and built ten waist-high arches together by moon and lantern light. It was an awesome experience for the novice stacker. Dave is a man possessed at times. There where times when I was beat and my hands were numb and I was about to say "Let's head on home," and he'd say, "The next one should be here," and we'd start gathering more rocks. That lantern is an old school wick and oil job. Not the Coleman "You're Carrying The Sun Around" lantern. It was beautiful to work with. A glorious yellow light that made excellent shadow cinema when you swung it around the stacks.

It's the kind of lantern that makes people swing it back and forth and say, "Go back ... go back."
