Day 308 – Key West to Knight Key, Florida 06/25/11 Mileage: 53
I was a little slow out of the chute this morning no thanks to the beer and Jagger last night I’m sure. I lingered in the comfort of my air-conditioned and immaculately clean room that came complete with a flush toilet, hot and cold running water and a TV with English channels….luxury. But soon it was time to pack the bike and hit the road north. I made my way up to Knight Key where I found a nice RV/campground right on the water.
But what sold it was a cool little tiki bar walking distance away. So, after I setup camp I wandered over to the Sunset Grill for dinner and some drinks.
It is a cool place right on the water, the food is great and it’s a good spot to watch the sunset over the water.
This is not going to make my transition back into the “real” world any easier…that’s fro sure…
From Deadhorse Down

Cool Paul…see you then!
Safe travels….
Can we get your Photo at the Jersey Paddler?
For sure…I’ll swing by! Heck, almost all the camping gear and some of the clothing I brought on this trip is from The Jersey Paddler!! Mostly Mountain Hardwear and Patagonia stuff… 🙂
Here’s one more little stop for you………..

Take Card Sound Road when you get to Key Largo. You’ll like it better than Rt 1
Have the conch there.
It’s one of our favorite stops in the upper keys.
Mile Marker 104 is the Caribbean Club, if you want another historical and interesting stop before you get to Card Sound Road.
Enjoy!
See you at Dave and Diana’s next week.
Happy trails…………
Thanks Kevin! I’m back in Miami already….so it will have to wait for next time!! 🙂
Sorry I caught you late. Next time around! Happy trails heading North! See you next week!
Cool man….see you then!
Hope it is not too hot going through Florida and the rest of the trip. Safe and cool riding. Hope you get to enjoy the scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
With all our Love, Mom and Dad
You sure are putting in long hours on the road. I hope you get to spend the 4th of July with some of your friends.
I am so glad we got to see you in Florida. It is a week already. Time is flying. Leaving to go to Maya’s first dance recital now. Weather is beautiful here.
Stay safe and cool. Happy fourth of July to all your friends. With love, Mom and Dad
Lenny,
I just checked your SPOT earlier today, and you were riding by my place. Im in Sylva. According to SPOT you are at Mt Michell. Are you leaving tomorrow morning or you going to stay in the area? Maybe i could swing by and get an autograph:)))
