[QUOTE="L8APEX, post: 16187235, member: 51947"] That cooler would be perfect for hauling beverages up Pikes Peak during the hill-climb. You have to park and then walk a few miles up or downhill before they shut down the mountain and you are stuck for the day. Then traverse the way back when the race is over. The last time we tried a big cooler that had wheels we thought we had it made! We were going to be well "hydrated"... As we made it towards our favorite corner we were just about 3/4 the way to our spot (roughly 2 miles from the car), and the square cooler was hopping along the way on it's little plastic wheels. It apparently saw a crowd, swerved and over steered resulting in a bounce on one wheel and it flipped. As it twisted over the lid flung open and several of the glass beverages were ejected (and a few in the cooler itself) failed to survive the tip. What really sucked is we were on the racing surface very close to the racing line and had very few options to collect the glass. The only thing we had that would work was our shirts. A few dry ones were used to sweep the little pieces we couldn't pickup off the tarmac, and a few got wet in the process. The spot was probably the cleanest spot on the entire course... but now several of us had the choice of wearing wet t-shirts with glass splinters or going shirtless somewhere above 10kft in the mountains. Now not only was the ice in the cooler now contaminated with glass but there was not enough sunscreen for everyone to get complete coverage now, so we hit the most exposed points and hoped for the best. We all ended up with various sunburns in the areas we thought would be more protected from exposure. For me under my arms and the tops of my legs under my shorts, made the 8 hour drive back to Kansas the next day even more fun for everyone... [/QUOTE]
