Did you go across the bridge in a cart? Here's my take. The first time I went over in a cart, driving myself, I wasn't sure about the distance I had in my lane and the wall to my right. I was a little paranoid and overly cautious. I got use to it and it was a breeze. Even in the rain.

Then we bought a second cart with sideview mirrors that stick out. Even now with much experience under my belt, I am always scared my mirrors are going to either hit another cart or the side. LOL I just go across slowly. There is nothing to it in the rain or the sunshine.

Once a few months back, we didn't have our battery charger plugged into the outlet, but we had the plug in our golf cart. We thought the cart was fully charged. I took off over the bridge and ran out of power when I'd nearly reached the top. I had to back off the bridge on a busy Sunday morning. Nothing much scares me about that bridge now except the fear of my wide mirrors hitting someone elses' cart.


Wheeling around in a golf cart anywhere and everywhere is really a wonderful feeling of independence to me that I can't explain.
