She's not the first person to ride a golf cart around town. I heard that she took her ticket politely and paid her fine. They are definitely not the "tree-hugger" kind. Paved bike paths aren't for everyone, but many people enjoy riding bikes for miles through the woods - so if paved paths aren't for you, there are many, many, other natural trails in the area. She donated real money to greatly improve that little town and her businesses employ hundreds, all with great benefits and working environs. I get it - either you like her or you don't (there are plenty both ways). However, speaking as a complete outsider, the folks who don't like her seem to resent her spending so much money. As for Smokeys' not being snowmobile friendly - that has not been my experience. Yes, they take your riding gear to another closet, but we have been greeted very warmly there. (I wouldn't want my riding jacket and bibs hanging next to my nicer coat - I was told that several guests complained about the "smelly" snowmobile clothing, not just Liz.) We have stayed at the Lodge many times, which the Uhlein's own, and you could not find a more snowmobile-friendly establishment. Not sure about the ATV/UTV issue.
