Bicycling the "Florida Overseas Heritage Trail" - Day 8

Part of what I like about camping is "returning" to the rhythms of nature.  Although we use headlamps to read in the evening, for the most part we went to bed early and got up early.

So we were up early on another sunny and warm day for our 29 miles. 

But then I went back and looked at the time of this photo and it's a sunset photo!  Pretend it's a sunrise. . .

Two miles down the road took us to a breakfast place.

Sugarloaf Food Company provided some great baked goods and an iced latte.

Glenda had some great Key Lime pie.  She had been looking for the best all during the trip and she judged this mid-morning pie snack as the "Best of the Trip."

By now the riding was getting "old hat."  The worst part of the whole ride was trying to cross the road.  Here we are impatiently waiting for enough of a gap in the traffic to get across.  Sometimes it was a bit harrowing.

It was fall in the Keys!  These Sea Grapes were in glorious fall colors.

Sometimes it's a small world.  At another coffee stop (?), ML and Glenda said, "Doesn't that look like Joyce getting into that car."  And yes, it was!

Joyce and her sister Mona are from Hoonah, Alaska, where ML and I used to live and Bob and Glenda currently live.  It's 4,582 miles away - not including the ferry ride. 

Pretty amazing.

"Gee whiz, where should we put our tents here at Boyd's RV and Campground?"

The decision looks good.
