Sure, my friends have driven us through the mazes and roundabouts and under the tunnels and over the bridges - but why would I ever pay any attention to where I was going? I was a guest and didn't own a cart - so who cared about the route from the Village of Silver Lake to LSL or Wal-mart!

It will be nice to get the key, a pat on the back, a good luck wish and the cart path map - but I sure would enjoy a guided tour of the cart paths instead! I understand it would likely be an inconvenience for the experienced resident [something else for them to frustrate over], but if the day/time was widely advertised and the motoring newbies group was kept to less than a parade, this might turn out to be a good idea in the long term.

[gentle ribbing enjoyed - flames will make me cry, thank you]


You will have no trouble getting around with a sweet attitude like this. Pull over and someone will tell you how to get where you are goin'. I volunteer to ride shotgun with you any day of the week for a tour....as soon as we can get down there.
