I said “excuse me, but golf carts are not allowed on that road and it can be very dangerous.”



The guy looks over and says “my horse is in the barn over there” (pointing to the barns on the Morse’s property across 466).

I then said… “as long as you know it’s illegal and very dangerous crossing this road, the choice is yours.”



I then got back on the MMP and went on my way.

Should I even have bothered to stop?

Waiting for what I predict will be some interesting responses.
That was a very polite way of offering info to someone that could possibly be lost or confused. I also am watching the responses.
