Carying *stuff* as Sun n' Fun

I like that 'hand cart' idea. I have dragged around a wagon and it is not so easy...

I always take my cameras. Between the cameras, lenses,
tripod, and other accessories it has always taken a backpack to get
the stuff around. 90% of the fun for me is shooting photos and then
being able to go over them later.

I see that they are banning backpacks at Sun n' Fun.
Any one have any good ideas on how to carry at least two cameras,
three lenses, tripod, film, batteries, memory for the digital, laptop,
and all the other accessories around in the heat without putting a
permanent kink in an already bad back? (which is why I use the back
pack instead of a camera bag)

Actually I have two 35s and two digitals with two having to stay some
where out of the heat. Carrying 4 at one time is a bit much although
they all use the same lenses so the extra two only add about two or
three pounds.

I saw a fellow last year with a little cheapy, two-wheel dolly. He had
attached a box about 16" cube with a padded seat/lid. It had one
handle so he could pull rather than push it.

The wagon needs an extended handle - mine is about 6 feet long.

Who said backpacks wouldn't be allowed this year. They were last year and
everything was searched at the gate.

I did get an answer back from them telling me I could bring the back
pack, but it'd probably get searched which is fine by me.

Thanks to all for some good suggestions.
