Key Largo, FL

After spending 15 days at our home in Buttonwood Bay taking care of yard work, cleaning house, doing various other things and renewing friendships we got back in the motor home yesterday morning. We headed south on US 27 driving through huge orange groves, past open pastures filled with cattle, large sugar cane plantations, around the south side of Lake Okeechobee and the farming area at Homestead, FL. We then entered the Florida Keys driving on US 1 to John Pennycamp Coral Reef State Park at Key Largo, FL where we spent the night. The first thing we noticed upon arriving here was that it was really humid and there were lots of mosquitoes. Today after getting a tire fixed on the motor home we will go about 70 miles further into the keys for a week Long rally with our Florida Sea Turtle Kountry Klub friends being held at Marathon Key.
