Our original thought was to use the golf cart, but it's electric and goes for 70 miles.....so that's 35 and 35 back? What if it konks out? We will see when we get there..............but good to know you are managing with yours. I'm not looking at the map at the moment, but I think Mulberry is someplace near where we will be............it looks like the closest supermarket. Thank you!!!
What if you car konks out? It is approximately 7-8 miles from Mulberry to Lake Sumter Landing. You can visit both squares with the cart on a full charge with power to spare. If your cart konks out you will have more helpers than you can deal with. Those folks telling you, it's really far, need to get out more.
