| The KLR made it as far as Addison before it crapped out... |
|
|
| ...so I had to go with "Plan B" |
|
|
| Ahh, Waffle House...Penny set the over/under for the week at 3. |
|
|
| F14 on the tarmac in Pensacola |
|
|
| Fat Albert |
|
|
| The lead solo jet |
|
|
| He took off to check the cloud ceiling and did a couple high speed passes |
|
|
| Alas, the ceiling was not high enough |
|
|
| The other jets did a drive by, but that was it. |
|
|
| So, plan B. Visit the Pensacola Lighthouse |
|

|
| ...and then Waffle House in Pensacola. That's 2. |
|
|
| This is what most of the roads in Florida look like when you're not along the coastline |
|
|
| Hmmm, glad I don't have the KLR, because I wouldn't have made it 20 feet in this mess. |

|
|
| Along the Gulf Coast |
|
|
| Palm trees |
|
|
| A sign in the St. Mark's wildlife preserve |
|
|
| St. Marks Lighthouse |
|
|
|
|
| it was interesting to see palm trees with a lighthouse |

|
|
| Water Moccasin...I saw this guy in the preserve while taking pictures |
|
|
| I was taking a picture of this when the water moccasin and I scared the hell out of each other |
|
|
| Lilly pads all over the place in the swamp |
|
|
| The Florida swamp |
|
|
| Cranes or Egrets?? no idea |
|
|
|
|
| The ST |
|
|
| I made it to the campsite that night about 45 minutes before dark... |
|
|
| ...only to see this. |
|
|
| So, it was time for plan B. Find a hotel, as there were no other campgrounds anywhere close by. |

| Route 41 |
|
|
| Al E. Gator |
|
|
| In the Keys |
|
|
| This is what to do in the Keys...riding a motorcycle? Ehh, not so much. |
|
|
| The views are great. |
|
|
| When you do get some open road, which doesn't happen often, it can be nice. |
|
|
| But those moments are few and far between. |
|
|
|
|
|
| I waited in line to take this picture...Key West is like Schaumburg with palm trees to me...not my thing. |
|
|
| I did catch a nice sunset on the way out of Key West. |
