Default newbies learning our way around

People have been very receptive to us everywhere we go, and every time we ask for directions. BUT people in their golf carts have no patience for people who have their map out and stop at the entrance of a tunnel or a corner to read the signs. This is very frustrating when you are trying to learn the cart path trail system as a new cart owner

Are you stopping in the middle of the cart path?

They're probably fearful of an accident more than impatient. If you can't pull over on to grass, just keep going until you can. You'll never have to travel that far before you can safely pull over. And, please, don't ever stop to read signs before entering a tunnel. It is way too dangerous for everyone!

no not at entrance but exiting to pull over is very dangerous. Good way to get hit head on

I am not clear what you mean, but you know you can just drive the golf cart into the grassy area on either side of the cart path and look at your map there. Perhaps you were north of 466 on the cart path that is part of the road on Morse?
