No dog in this fight, either. Just wondering...could it be that prior to the "cleanup/improvements" the owner looked the other way, and now that it looks more official, they can no longer afford to do that and need to recognize liability issues? Did the cleaner-uppers shoot themselves in the foot?? Just a thought.

OAN, will golf cart insurance cover owners who have an accident while trespassing? I'd check with my insurance company before ignoring the signs. Insurance companies like to look for reasons to deny claims.

Personally, I'd be willing to pay an extra annual fee to TV for a Golf Cart sticker to have access to that Walmart etc. and a maintained path. It's always about $, so a reasonable fee for TV residents and the other communities would probably make everybody happy and a little more money in the Morse family's coffers which is always important. You know the merchants love the business and those that use it wouldn't mind a small fee. Not so different than a toll or paying for parking.

Instead, we have to pretend it's about all these other issues when it's just profits. No different than paying a parking fee. For that matter, why not sell access to TV amenities for the surrounding communities as well? No different than joining a country club. Price it high enough so that you don't get riffraff and make money to boot. Keeps the monthly fee for TV residents lower too. Problems solved!

Interesting observation. Could be some credence in this theory if both ends of the path were not posted. Do you know if the no trespass signs are at both the Walmart and Aldi's ends (i.e. a total of 4 signs)?

1st picture entrance to path from Aldi, no signs in site,

2nd picture just beyond same entrance, if you look way down , end of fence on right you can see a sign, but not even a hawk can read it until you get much closer.

Thank you Gracie, I forgot to describe pictures. Will post more pics with descriptions.

As I mentioned previously, if they really didn't want anyone using this trail it would only take a bout 30 minutes with a backhoe to make it totally inaccessible.

Which leads me to believe, the signs were put there purely to try and cover themselves legally. :shrug:
