Please stay on the interior ranch roads whether you are in your own vehicles or golf carts. Driving off the roads or in the pastures puts you at risk for getting stuck, wet or dry, as we have sandy soil. If you do get stuck, a wrecker will need to be called to assist you, and you will be responsible for the wrecker’s charges.
