Wed, Dec 20, Miami Everglades RV Park, Homestead, FL, to Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Well, we made it here okay.  We left at 9:30 this morning and arrived at Lazy Lakes by 12:30 and were set up by 1:30.  We thought it was going to be very slow going, but after Islamorada the traffic really thinned out.  We saw a lot of destruction though.  A lot of vegetation but the further we went we saw more boats in the mangroves, furniture, appliances, and house parts piled up along Rt. 1.  It will take a lot of time to get rid of all that debris.  And we haven’t even checked out some of the side roads in Big Pine yet.  I heard that’s really bad.  One of the maintenance guys in here, Mike, backed us in.  We could have done it, but he does this all the time and it took him no time at all.  Our site in much bigger since they took out the planters.  A bunch of people came over to say hello, and later Dale, Carolyn, Mike and a couple of other people came over for a few glasses of wine.  We couldn’t get our TVs set up though.  We have Direct TV in here and it’s a real pain setting it up.  Hopefully, our neighbor, Larry, will help us tomorrow.  It clouded up when we got here, but cleared off later in the afternoon.  83 here today.  We’re here for two and a half months.  

Almost all set up.

Enjoying a glass of wine.

A few friends dropped by.
