Fake rock, real light

If you go visiting other van dwellers during longer winter nights, you might have trouble finding where you parked your van—especially if the visit included some adult beverages. A flashlight is good if you know the direction you need to head. Otherwise, a light on the van can be handy. A porch light, if you will. "Ah, there I am, over there."

So, I got this solar powered yard light. It comes on automatically when it's dark. The light pivots in the "rock." There's a switch to choose between warm-ish or cool-ish light. Pointed at the van, the vehicle becomes a shining beacon in the night welcoming home the weary—assuming I'm coming from a direction where I can see the lighted side. Hmmm, maybe I need one for the other side.
