Red, Is the 25 mile marker the last island before ya get to Key west? Ma and I enjoyed that area, cept for those people that live there that were confused about some things. Cold as it is in SW Ohio now, hope it's comfy in the Keys. Enjoy!

I stayed at Big Pine Key a lot in the middle 80's for a month with my other layed off construction worker buddies. Do they still have the unofficial nude beach at the far end of Bahia Honda Beach?

Mile marker 25 is Summerland Key. I have a friend who has a vacation house on Ocean Drive. Stock Island is the last island before Key West.

Redleg, if you've been keeping track of the weather here (Mi) then you know that you couldn't have picked a better time to vacate this frozen custard stand.

While you are down there check out the endangered Key Deer on Big Pine Key. The deer are tiny and fairly approachable. You might as well hit the No Name Pub too (http://www.nonamepub.com/index.html). For other Keys tips, check out this link on my website:
