You recognize important roads....466, 466A, Buena Vista and Morse. If you can get back to those, you're never really lost. The community is indeed quite large, but think of the size as lots of places to explore. If you purchase a golf cart, take your map, pack some drinks and a snack and head on out. If you are truly lost, just pull over to the side of the cart path and open your map. Quickly you'll be assisted by many Villagers who were once in your situation. They'll either point you in the right direction or have you follow them to where you need to be.

Congratulations on your closing and Welcome Home!

Pooh is right! We had soooo much fun getting lost and exploring! We did use our GPS to get us in the right direction when we would get lost. We would use our google earth app! Worked great!
