Our first time was quite memorable. I had studied all the maps realizing Buena Vista and Morse were the main north south arteries and 466 Camino Real were east west. We jumped right into our SLOW Lifestyles cart and took off to see our new home under contract waiting for closing. What I didn't realize was the multi modal paths didn't always run parallel to BV or Morse (actually Morse has lanes in the roadway mostly north of 466). Ask my co-pilot for a map reading and she thought I had the map. OMG we got lost at every turn!

No worries in less than 60 seconds folks noticed the frustrated "where the heck are we look" an stopped to help us. Now THAT's Florida's Friendliest Hometown in action!

Next day with map in hand we set out and only had to stop once. We learned how to read the MM signs for this trail or that.....Still will have to learn better when we get down permanently this fall.
