1st Gens in Key West?

There is one there anyway........ "Lucky" enough to be
laid off right now so we headed south. Dragging an
older Airstream Argosy, the Cummins did great,
12.5 mpg over the mountains of Tennesee with
no complaining.
Weather is awesome!

We are staying at the Sugarloaf KOA but we've taken it to
mile marker 0 a couple of times. Saw the sun rise this
morning and headed back there now to ride our bicycles
around. Much better weather than Kentucky right now.

Islmaroda and Marathon are my favorite keys. Key West is becoming too much like New Orleans You HAVE to go fishing while your down there and dont forget to get some Key Lime Pie at Kermits!!!!!!Maybe Kenny can hook you up with some fishing, but you might not leave if you catch too many!!!

HAHAHA well my family was here before the rail road (a few gnerations ago) and my father was forced to fish growing up because our family all fished and ran a fish house so when he grew up and had me, fishing wasnt fun for him it was work. so we just didnt do it. Besides you see the shirts i would rather be fishing well ide rather be building hot rods

We stayed @ KOA on Sugarloaf last year at this time (actually 3 through 8 Jan) and had a great time. If you get a chance visit Ft Jefferson...
