IRG light up....one for the record books!

Nice light up! I must only have one lantern...I must only have one lantern.... Well maybe a second if I find one for the wife's b-day (but I'm not looking for that one).

Edit to add: Did anyone keep track of how much fuel was burned? Or care to guess? It would be interesting to know. I would think a couple of gallons by the time the whole thing was set up and the pictures were taken.

Slow, If it is just the tail but the turn/brake still works, just pull it on out to the gathering in the daylight. Someone will help you to get it going. If it's the converter, the plugin model for the Explorer is usually regular stock in most parts houses. If they are out, you can usually splice in a universal to the plug from your old unit. Call the parts store before you head into town, If they don't have it they should be able to get it there within a day or two.

A rancher/farmer in Wyoming worried about one tail light not working???

All the out fits I see roaming the roads around here seems nobody thinks twice about heading out with some ag equipment and not lights at all, no plates and over loaded. And don't tell me you haven't at some time. I am not saying what fool thing I have done.

It was a gallant effort by all! It went very smooth with everyone helping each other, and glad that there were no real accidents. To just put the lanterns on the display stand took courage, as a lot of heat was flowin'. I wished for some gloves, maybe next time I will be more prepared. haha.

There was a technical error for most of the lite up photos, and are out of focus. It would have been nice to have one more of those shelf supports, as the wide angle photo was tested, but I think I got them all in the shot, but a bit blurred. Hopefully, several photos can be used in comparison to get the total counts. Perhaps next time someone with a clipboard can check in the number of lanterns before being placed in the staging areas, just a suggestion.

I think the 212 number is 99.9% right. We counted the total lanterns 232; Then deducted the propane & battery a came up with 212.
I know af at least 15 lanterns that wouldn't stay lit or weren't even brought over. So if we do it again I haope the number will be even bigger!
Hopefully there will be less stress next time. Maybe a checking in count wouldn't be a bad idea if someone wants to do it.

I have a 360 degree turn around 1:40 minute video of the burn off just when the second platform was brought over.
Had another of it completed but it died from my camera swimming in hazardous waters .
Don't know how to share it. Danny
