leaving Key West

 After the Dry Tortugas we headed north from Key West, actually more east then north. Here are few left over photos.

We did drive by the southern most point buoy but each time the line of people waiting to take a photo was down the street so we just snapped a photo from the car of two random people and keep on driving.

 

We didn't have to even leave the resort to see wildlife, in addition to the wild chicken with chicks and the birds in every tree there were a lot of iguanas that hung out by the pool as if they owned it. Several including this one were pretty good sized, 3ish feet long.

The drive up US-1 through the keys is beautiful, especially with the top down. However it's hard to take any photos so I don't have much to post.

We tried to stay off the freeway as much as possible and found this beautiful road near Lake Okeechobee. The Martin Grade Scenic Highway is 12 miles of old trees with hanging moss covering the road like a tunnel.
