It isn't much of a problem at Lost Maples because it is a short hike back to the parking lot from anywhere in the park but on some trips it could be a tough return.

Before I go shopping I was wondering what has worked best for others.
Txvelo, That's not good news because that's the same one I have. I've used it for 6 or 7 years now. It is a little hard to pump but outside of that, I've had no problems. Perhaps if you contacted the manufacturer they may be willing to replace it or at least suggest how to fix it.
