Glad you guys had a blast and sorry I couldn't make it, as usual had to work. Really appreciate all the hard work that goes into the cleaning, much props to all you fellas.

Sep, glad you enjoyed it man. Cart will make a world of a difference, if you drive a truck you could get a wagon style one and mod it out, if not, talk to Nelson and Rory for their folding hand trucks, those you can break down and work wonders for the bridges.

I still don't get how Rory fits all his stuff into his Acura lol

Aint nothing better than a keys trip..I'm out :toast:

Yup, I drive a pickup. I used a hand dolly and had it loaded. Had to have Neson and Ricky put some more stuff on their carts. Remember I had two others with me including my dog... but I'm on the hunt for a cart. Maybe I can pick one up second hand....

Sounds good man, we need to hit the bridges up then man.

If it helps any, the one I got from Home Depot was about $90 and it fits all my gear. I put a 100qt cooler in it then stack the rest and its good to go. Also the rods are all in rod holders I installed on the cart.

I looked for the cart at homedepot online. No luck. What search term would you use? Not under carts....

Seach under hand trucks.

This is the one I use. I replaced the tires with flat free tires, getting a flat a mile out on the bridge sucks.

Yes, they did. I started off with the original ones, they will work fine for a while, but the bridges take their toll on them, and I ponied up $60 for a pair of flat frees.

Could you send me a pic of your cart when you have a chance? I'd love to see how you have it tricked out!
