The blizzard hit as predicted, and I was stuck in a
drift a few blocks from my house. Fortunately,
I was close to the curb and not blocking anyone’s driveway. I decided to walk home and come back for the
car once the streets were cleaned up.
But I could not leave the car without any marker, or the snowplow might
move it for me. I had bought a WayPoint®
from FlashlightDistributor.com for just such an emergency. This light produces 210 lumens and throws a
beam over 700 yards. But just then, I
didn’t need that much light. What I
wanted was a warning beacon to show that my car was there. So I set the WayPoint® on its stand and turned
on its strobe setting. The strobe lasts
for 5 days without interruption, and I knew that long before that I should be
able to move the car. Then I made my
slow way home. The following afternoon,
I got a call from the city that I could go get my car. They thanked me for leaving the strobe, and
remarked that more people should do so when they find themselves in the same
situation. Of course, I made sure to
recommend FlashlightDistributor.com and the WayPoint®. http://www.flashlightdistributor.com/Streamlight.aspx?Streamlight=44902
