As I was mapping directions to the pool, I figured I'd try and map directions to Spanish Springs.
BUT! Spanish Springs is only around a 1.5 miles away from my house. Well within walking distance and bike-riding distance!
I see how to get from my house over the golf cart bridge to Spanish Springs. But if I'm comprehending things right, that's exclusively for golf carts and foot and bicycle traffic is not permitted (or wise) up there. Am I correct on this point?
So, if I don't want to have to drive all over the place just to get 1.5 miles from home, how can I walk there? Or ride my bike there? Is there a walk light on 27 and 441 at Wales Place where it connects to Avenida Central? What about a golf cart tunnel and/or multi-modal to cross 27 and 441 at Morse Blvd where it connects with W. Boone?
Yes I know about the GPS. But I'm not looking for a play-by-play while I'm driving/walking/bicycling. I'm looking for written directions. When I'm driving, my attention is on the road, not on my cell phone. I don't do GPSs.

ANSWER There is a good paper map, it has the golf cart paths, and it is fine for us, it works well. GPS, we agree is a bummer, buy it and then well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, "it needs upgrade etc. etc." Note where going anywhere, the amount of cars doing U turns while they are staring at their cell phone and scratching their head and being quite upset. NO GPS for us, get a good map.
Bike stores also have some good walking and bike maps.
