We took off without breakfast and it was an hour and a half before we found The Outpost. I guess it could have been we were hungry, but it was the best breakfast yet. ML had Challah French Toast. Mmmmm. Plus, the coffee was good and it kept coming.
Pelicans are always fun to watch. Plus, they like to "hang out," which is what these were doing.
We watched a V-22 Osprey do practice run after practice run: up, down, around, and again.
We stopped at Crane Point Nature Preserve. The bronze doors into the museum part were amazing.
We went for part of a tour - very interesting but so long that we made our excuses and skedaddled. It was great to see the way the Keys looked before volumes of people showed up.
ML dressed for the occasion when she parked her bike at a lunch stop next to the bougainvillea.
Our campsite at Big Pine Key Fishing Resort. It had been reviewed well and deserved the good reviews. It was clean and the people were very pleasant.
"Key Deer" visited us from time to time. Not a very good photo, but they were definitely small.
There was no restaurant very close, so Bob and I rode up a mile or two to a bar/restaurant. It was crowded but we ordered food "to go" as well as a beer to help us with the wait.
No food, no food, no food. Finally, Bob asked the owner and in another 10 minutes we finally got the food and bicycled back in the dark. We were happy for the food, though, even if we had to wait over an hour.
The next day, 2/24, was a layover day. I can't say we did much but it was nice to have a break from breaking camp and loading and unloading gear.
