Thinking they were waiting to take their cart out on 466, noticing that they were young (visiting parents/grandparents?), that there were two young children in the seat, guessing they were probably lost and also noticing that it didn’t even have a license plate for a street legal car, I chose to veer over to them to keep them from having a disaster.

I said “excuse me, but golf carts are not allowed on that road and it can be very dangerous.”

The guy looks over and says “my horse is in the barn over there” (pointing to the barns on the Morse’s property across 466).

I then said… “as long as you know it’s illegal and very dangerous crossing this road, the choice is yours.”

I then got back on the MMP and went on my way.

Should I even have bothered to stop?

Waiting for what I predict will be some interesting responses. :popcorn:

Could be an employee of the Morses. There must be a lot of people involved in keeping up that property.

That's entirely possible, but to be in your late-20's to early-30's and have your own horse boarded at the Morse's, you have to be a pretty well paid employee.

I've been told that the house on the very corner next to 466, that is just left of the #7 green on Laurel Valley, is a guest house for the Morse's friends and relatives who live elsewhere and that was my thought on where they were coming from.

No kidding. It's hard to believe there are people naive enough to believe that people with money, power and influence don't get out of tickets because of who they are.

That was a very polite way of offering info to someone that could possibly be lost or confused.

IMHO it was nice of the OP to stop, particularly with children in the cart. One never knows. Such acts can and do save lives.
