I would have brought popcorn for the mary poppins show.

They’re still not good for making sharp turns:

The Tim Kelley Infrared Eyesight Laser Beam is not to be toyed with. I’ve heard that it can slice through fallen trees on trails and abandoned cars on roads.

I couldn’t think of a reason that this would be anymore dangerous than transporting them by car, so I did it and it was lovely. I’m open to suggestions as to why this might not be wise for consideration before the next time I run out of propane, however. I did bungee them down between taking the picture and actually riding; they were a bit tippy otherwise.

They did great! I wouldn’t recommend going down Superman Hill with that much in the box, but I’ve gone down Superman hill with a lightly loaded box without trouble.
