Wonderswell trip Brian! "Drove to the top and hiked down . . "

at my age I have to do it the other way around - Drive to the bottom and hike up.
I can slide or roll down if I have to.

This folding wheelbarrow from Amazon.com sure helps to liberate a few rocks!

I read a customer review and found info on the tire -

BAD Inflatable Tire: This version of this cart is a waste of money
By S. S. Nelson on March 30, 2008
Verified Purchase
This would be a great product if the wheel were not inflatable, if it were just a hard wheel. As it is, it's VERY difficult to inflate the tire because the valve is hard to get to. Then, the tube just split wide open (it seemed pretty dry and crackly) within a couple months of use. Now, am I supposed to go buy a replacement tube for this little tire? What a drag. Even getting the tube out to see how bad the hole in it was: a big pain! - not nearly as easy as changing the tube in a bike tire. I would not recommend this version of this cart to anyone, I would get one that does not have a tube and tire system that needs to be filled with air and replaced. - Oh, and part of the plastic on one side of the assembly that holds the tire broke within days. It still worked, so I was able to use it anyway, but just another drag...

Wheelbarrow
By Michael K. Haftel on April 3, 2007
Assembling the wheelbarrow was problematic. The pins didn't fit the pre-cut holes. When I tried to force the pins (used to hold the handls in place) through the plastic wheel holder, the plastic broke.

Is the canvas part worth the price, or do we have to build the whole thing from scratch?

Arizona Black Rattlesnake. Same type we saw at worm track agate.

thanks for the tour... really nice everything there. only thing missing was me!!

That was my initial guess, but I recall the one you found had pink on it's back. Is that a regional thing.. or maybe how the sexes differ?

Not gender.

Prolly regional variation.
