I'd like to second the report that the new Cart Paths north of 466 are absolutely wonderful.
We took the dog for a really long cart ride today and traveled from Calumet to Savannah under Buena Vista and down El Camino Real to Freedom Point. The cart path is closed from Freedom Point to Morse Blvd so we went under El Camino Real through the Hospital lot to the Morse round-a-bout. We found the well hidden temporary access to the bridge over RT 27/441. We took a trip to Lowe's and then returned to Spanish Springs. Wandered around there for a bit and then traveled down Morse and crossed under 466. There we happened across a poor soul in a golf cart that couldn't find his way back to Buttonwood. We told him to follow us and we'd get him on the correct route back home. So we took him around Lake Sumter Landing to Buena Vista and told him to follow the Buena Vista Recreation Trail signs until he got back home.
We headed back up Buena Vista and took the route through Saddlebrook to see if the trail was open from there up to Savannah. It was. The tunnel under Buena Vista at Springdale is open so we took that and then hit the recreation path that goes through the Lopez course near the new dog run. We crossed back under Buena Vista at the Lopez CC and completed the round trip at Calumet. I've got to tell you that the dog is in "Cart Path" Heaven. He's been sound asleep since we got back.
