    Agreed. Isnt the cart at Jug a custom built (or upgraded) cart? I think if multiple people are willing to donate we should at least get something of similar quality to jug. Its been a few years since I?ve been to jug so my memory of it may not be accurate.

    Default RIP that cart at Little River

    Yes DSix upgraded it out of his own pocket. And again when it needed work.
    The cart at Little River was tough and worked really well.
    The one I saw today at TS had solid tires.

    Was at LR today (Monday, 5/5) and the county guy came and chained a new large plastic wheelbarrow to the fence between the parking lot and the cement path to the water. I had my own cart so didn’t enquire, but assumed it’s a replacement.

    Great news! Saves us all some money. I have my own cart too but have used theirs on occasion. Thanks for the update!

    This is the new cart the county bought and are letting us use. These guys visiting from Brazil were happy to use it.

    I?m still a proponent of us donating one that can be used for just divers. That way if the county needs theirs or theres two teams its still all good. I?m still in for $100

    Good plan. A big four wheel one like the one that was stolen. I'll contribute.

    Before showing up and dropping a cart off, someone may want to have a conversation with the staff to make sure they are OK with that. All of the park staff are very friendly to divers, a five minute conversation would be a simple thing to have.
