AND, we'll never have this carriage off the road to it'll -> be easy to pull on the pavement. Yeah as long as you stay on the paved roades you should be ok with it. Florida doesn't have many hills that I can remember either so that shouldn't be a problem either. Sounds really nice Jean. -> Our "runabout" carriage (2 passenger) came from PA -- the 4 passenger -> carriage came from KY - both built by the Amish. We've traded in the 4 -> passenger -- keeping the 2 passenger carriage (in case I want to go to -> another show ).
