Key West!

We have finally made it to the southern most point of the USA. Can't go any further south than this and we are loving it. We said our good bye's to our friends back in Marathon this morning and will really miss them. We had a great send off last night. Dinner, drinks and dessert. They gave us a nice cake and added the touch of "aye" for our Canadian friends.
The journey was only 50 miles this morning but Road Hazard passed a milestone in its 11 year old history. After many miles of rolling along on highways, grass, getting stuck in friends back yard and having the Pick Up try and pass it, Road Hazard hit 30,000 miles on the odometer. Not bad for this old fellow. Sorry the picture is a little blurry but I took this as we were moving.The drive down is beautiful. If you have never driven to the Keys it is something that you definitely need to do. The bridges are incredible. Especially being up high in RH and just looking out over the clear blue water.
We made it to our campsite and it really tested our marriage and communication level. The site is really tight. They pack you in like a can of sardines. It's funny to see because when someone new arrives these ole' timers get their chairs out to watch the excitement. We did a great job. With Reta directing me we parked this baby. Of course after about 20 plus maneuvers. A lot of the parking involves trusting the person directing you because you can't see everything and in a sense you are driving blind. Just when we thought we were done, we had to move it 6 inches back, no wait, 4 inches forward and to the right, stop, 3 inches to the left and back, OK, not straighten out. All this because there are two palm trees on our site and we had to position RH just right so that we could open the slide and awning. It was a good show. No yelling but some laughing. After all said and done here is a view of our new home. We back up to the Atlantic Ocean.
















What we didn't realize is that there is a military base up the coast where these jets fly overhead for their final approach to land. I am sure if my buddy CB were here he'd spend all his time sitting there going "I see it...it's a f15 Tomcat with afterburners and sparrow missiles with landing gear down and the pilot has green eyes." I don't know how he knows all this stuff, he just does and I don't know what type of plane that was.

Our friends from MD have also just arrived in Key West so we hope to hook up with them at some point. Let the Partying Begin!!!!

P.S. take a look at "Something to Think About" on the right hand column. Interesting, aye?
