Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  We took out our bikes and biked down to the burned out bridge—the old state road past the KOA.  The pavement ends after a mile or two and the conditions deteriorate rapidly—with lots of ruts and pot holes.  But at least it hadn’t rained much lately so there were no water hazards.  A pretty bumpy ride at times, and I was worried about my camera which I had in my bike basket, not to mention my butt, but we made it down there.  The current in the channel here is pretty fast at times.  Seemed pretty good today.  There was a couple down there in their personal water craft who had just gone for a swim.  Talked with them for a while.  They’re staying at the KOA.  Told them about the MM24 band playing there tomorrow night.  Biked back and stopped at the KOA pub and had a couple of sodas and talked with Lee, the bartender, for a while.  Back home and relaxed the rest of the evening.  Cold front coming through tonight.  81 today.


This beautiful gated property is at the end of the paved section of road--right on the Atlantic.   Very peaceful and quiet down there at the end of the road surrounded by nature.

Such a pretty ride.  Hard to believe it used to be a major road back in the day.

The old burned out bridge and channel.

A couple and their daughter in their personal water craft--had just gone for a swim.
