Going next Sunday for the first time.Is the trail good enough to push/pull a dolly or am I going to have to backpack my tanks in?

you can use a cart half of the way
Im getting too old for that.I might rethink my plans or dive a single.
Walk in a couple of 45's on a sidemount rig, 90+ Cu/Ft of gas and you have the redundancy :yawinkle:
I love my 45's....The Fabers and the Glock.
It's the most beautiful dive I've ever been on, nothing else has even come close. I'd say it's worth it.Quote:

Perfect walk-back. Swamp was dry, so no mud bogs.
Was like walking around in my backyard :)
Here's a few pics from Weds.
Even managed to get my little yellow cart in my new "pimp mobile" :diver

It's like a station wagon that couldn't decide whether it wanted to be an SUV or a minivan when it grew up.
You need to get some gold spinners on it to match your gold front tooth. ;-)

That little cart is great. We have one and used it on our second Buford dive trip. We learned from our first attempt with a cart that had little wheels and broke during our "walk" to the end of the road. However, we hauled 6 sets of tanks (two doubles) and all of our gear in our little cart. (I told the guys with the doubles to bring only single tanks but they didn't want to listen) (now they are believers).
Hey Randy, Make sure you bring the most important piece of equipment when diving buford "BUG SPRAY" lots and lots of "BUG SPRAY" trust me from experience.
I figured as much being an avid bowhunter a Thermocell is very light and works great with mosquitoes,not as good with nats though as we discovered at Madison on Sunday.Quote:
