Woke up to this lurking about:  

Ya think they're waiting to see if we're good pickings yet?

We headed out via the toll road and had lunch at the Miccoaukee Resort Casino near Homestead. Homer took his rest and I donated some to the Indians. Being this is where I once won $1,200 in a promotion - I didn't feel too bad to lose a little. 

We decided to spend a night at the Everglades, but the booth lady was rude and wanted xtra cuz we had kayaks. We told her we wouldn't be using them and then she told us the furthest campground was the only one open. We thought "screw it" and turned around. 

About that time our good friend Mark called us so we decided to shoot for the Keys and park in his yard. 

Traffic was stop and go before Islamorada and as we crept by we noticed about 5 cop cars removing yellow tape from around a bank. Either someone was hurt or a bank was robbed. Probably will never find out. 

The rest of the trip was insignificant except for the beauty of it all. 

Wind is blowing but it's in the 80's. 

We ate dinner in the camper as Mark and Hilda had dinner plans with friends.  I figured for sure we'd have a drink with them before night's end and we did.  They have become great friends over the years and we have been to many of their sunset parties and her fantastic cooking. 

This will be the end of the blog til we get back on the road in May - 2015. I'll have occasional shots on Facebook I'm sure!
