What is the craziest thing you have seen in The Villages
 
I have seen a full sized sedan coming out of the rec trail tunnel beside Colony Cottage as I was heading toward the tunnel in a golf cart. Another time in a golf cart on the rec trail coming from Colony heading toward Odell circle there was a car heading straight at me . The gate attendant at Odell and Morse had seen it too and we managed to stop the gentleman. I was trying to get him to go back the way he came but he hopped the curb straight to Morse Blvd. However the most bizarre thing I have seen here in my 17 years was a guy on a two wheel bicycle on Buena Vista near Palmer pulling a 10-12 foot kayak on a trailer. I forgot to add a couple years ago I experienced a car going clockwise in the roundabout on Morse by HavanaCC. They made it through unscathed

The guy on the bike pulling a kayak. I've not seen that but I guess he does that regularly.
a typical trailer would be two wheels and a hitch to attach to a car. The other type would be for a light boat a kayak or canoe to move it from the back of a pickup or on top of a car to wheel it to the water. I can't imagine either working well with a bike.

Mine is not even competitive. I have seen a guy tow a small boat with his golf car and just yesterday a."professional landscaper," towing their typical trailer loaded with equipment with a golf cart. UPS delivering off a kind of disneyland mini cart train.
I've asked the drivers what they did wrong to get this route. They are either had of hearing or sworn not to reply.

On this past new years eve, I saw an elderly female being driven by a chauffeur inside a brand new silver Rolls-Royce Phantom. The Rolls-Royce stopped and parked at the Neighborhood Walmart on Morse and the elderly female went inside the store. Funny how someone can drop over $400K on a car, but still shop at the local Walmart in order to save a few bucks.

That was my house servant. I let her borrow James and the Phantom to pick up the gardner's prescription at the pharmacy.

Don't hate.

Car on Beuna Vista heading south in the northbound lanes near Lake Sumter probably after a few drinks.

This is why she could afford the Rolls and the chauffeur.

There is an old European saying ... Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves. Or, take care of the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves.

Men and women climbing a fence with a locked gate to walk their dogs.
