Glad you had fun & liked it.

Each person take at a minimum of 2 lights.

Rule of thumb: Take a light with a backup light and a backup for the backup, each light should have batteries that will last as long as your stay. (3 light sources per person)

Some lights to consider: (Just some)

River Rock 6V headlamp $24.99 includes 2 Duracell CR123 cells (Target).
Princeton Tec Eos
Princeton Tec Apex - about $80.00 tho
RayoVac Extreme Rayovac - High Beam Luxeon LED Flashlights
