Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Headed up to Marathon this morning.  When we came down here on December 1 we noticed a very historic Ozark Airlines plane at the Marathon Airport.  We know someone who used to pilot one of these back in the day, so we wanted to take a picture of it.  Stopped at the Stuffed Pig for breakfast first.  A really good breakfast and two mimosas later we continued on to the airport.  They have two or three historic planes there on the tarmac or in one of the hangars.  The plane is now privately owned and still flies.  Left there and headed back—stopping at Sunshine Key RV Park to see some friends of ours from Door County, Wisconsin.  They’re down here 6 months and back in Wisconsin for 6 month—have been doing that for over 27 years.  They own a couple of restaurants we used to frequent up there.  As we drove back it was getting cloudier and cloudier.  On the way up, the water on both the bay side and ocean side was dead calm.  Now there are white caps.  Guess the front is coming through.  Mid 80s on the way up, mid-70s on the way back.
