I have a hammock with a bug net and don't mind walking a distance. Any places near Forest Camping where I can string a hammock(temporarily) for a few hours of quiet time each afternoon?

It seems from my experience (and a bunch of others at Peach), the weakest link is the wheels and the forks on which they are mounted. Wide large wheels are necessary for uneven terrain. Thick heavy steel is needed for the forks, but is not used in most models. It was the forks that bent dragging the wagon over dips and rocks on my wagon. (The post-accident DOT investigation and wagon data recorder information reveal that the front wheel hit a rut, turned sideways, and the weight of the load coupled with the forward pulling force were to much lateral force for the fork to bear and it bent. So one front wheel was at an angle not vertical.
The strength in the forks is load bearing (the weight of the load pushing down) and fore-and-aft - they (most that I observed) have very little lateral strength. (Which normally is not needed - unless you hit a rock or a rut.)
So I am looking for suggestions for a replacement wagon.
My (almost impossible) requirements:
Wide wheels (Over 1")
Heavy Duty steel on the wheel forks. (Not thin, bent steel)
Weight (preferably under 50 lbs)
Under or near $100.
Must fold up. (I have 0 storage space.)
Light as possible but still be rugged.
Here is what I am replacing. Notice the fragile forks.
My Old Wagon
I love the wheels on the Gorilla carts, but they don't fold up.
I am asking a lot - any suggestions on getting close?

It's strong wheels and forks that are critical.

These two qualities do not exist in the same universe. You have to go heavy duty/expensive or light, cheap and single use.

The only downside is you need to be good at stacking and/or have straps.

P.S. My traveling companion only locked up his wagon for the wagon races to keep me from racing it(I hadn't trained so it was unneeded). Sad hearing about your wagon.
