Trial run of the canoe cart.
Don't be fooled by the gentle appearing upgrade as depicted in the image.
Two miles over a bit rugged terrain was a persistent tug. Midway becoming a slog. Any further beyond our destination we imagine a full blown tug-of-war. Given a fairly level track supporting a paved and compacted crushed gravel surface, such as a hike-bike trail, we could have run the distance. We opted for our standard, unimproved, combination side-hill cut mountain trail and heavy-ballasted railroad grade. Rocks, ruts, mud, puddles, mud puddles, fly ash, bottom ash, small gravel, medium gravel, large gravel... and more gravel. Outside temps in the mid 90's. Potential for hidden, snapping vipers. Minus any serious grade (other than a short steep downhill of several hundred feet) we'll give it a 3 out of 5 on the difficulty scale (at said distance), so it could have been worse. To be honest, given a following day of a bit of rest and recovery, and we're ready to go again.
And we had an end to our toil

Sisyphus' tale is actually pretty good...

Some decent AI - although, we see opportunity for some great stop motion animation.
