I've seen a white pickup truck on the path before (south of 466 by a golf course) I assumed it was some kind of maintenance truck, but now I'm not sure.

Now that is funny!

At least once a year I see a car on one of the golf cart paths. Sometimes heading toward a tunnel. It's scary. Has anyone ever seen a car go through a golf-cart tunnel?

Instead of using the plastic guards at the entrance of a path maybe they should use something stronger

Happens more often than you know! Have seen several on the paths. It's astounding however, sometimes it happens when folks mostly drive their carts then forget when they get into the car. Some also might be folks who are new to the area and are just like lemmings (sp) and follow everyone else. Scarey to thing about isn't it!!??

Yes, I have seen a car coming from a tunnel at Mallory. I was just about to enter the tunnel when I saw the car. I shook my header at the driver, and muttered: Men Drivers to the driver! Very scary indeed!!

i am thinking the age is getting younger of TV so not counting on old just looking for a short cut
