Lighting up the night - Another Coleman post

Well today it was in the low 30's and I was outside trying to bring back to life one
of my Coleman 243A lanterns these are a older lantern and smaller than normal
and blue or blue and black.This one was from june of 1937. Here it is working
but the mantle blew a hole so it will have to be replaced, but it is a working 81
year old lantern try that with a battery or propane powered lantern.

The ice in this cave is different from year to year and season to season.

These cabins are near Penn's Cabin, in the valley east of it and are owned by a ranch in the Sunlight basin in WY and they used to let people stay in the one on the left.
And of course wild horses




Salt Lick Cave

Little Ice Cave


Odd things you find while walking through the woods
