Christmas Key West!

Well, t'was the night before Christmas and here we are on the beach at Key West!  We left home Saturday morning and drove to Koreshan State Park right outside of Ft. Meyers, FL.  Nice state park but hard to explore when you get there two hours before sunset and you are planning on leaving the next morning as early as possible.  

After we set up our campsite  (since just about everything is "push one button" it is not real hard) Jason and I grabbed our mountain bikes and went for a ride.  Neat campground right on the Estero River.  Lots of signs that warned of Alligators so we figured we better keep Buster away from the water.

We left about 1000 on Sunday morning to start the drive from Koreshan to Key West since we had about 250 miles to drive.  I took the first leg across Alligator Alley (didn't see any gators) and then we stopped to refuel.  $100 later we were back on the road (got to love a 50 gallon tank at $3 + a gallon.  Karen volunteered to take her second drive of the trip (her first was 100 miles on Saturday while I slept on the couch).  Karen got the bum end of the deal.  Around Miami and then 20 miles on Hwy 1 on the Keys under construction.

Karen and Buster want to go for a run so I need to sign off for now.  More later.
