Always was a joy to hit the Keys. Liked to take Card Sound Road and stop at that bar...forgot the name dang it! But I loved the toll booth with the welcome sign to the Keys.
Sigh.

(3,533 posts)Lived in Key Largo for quite a few years. Left when everything started to get very commercialized. MH parks and campgrounds were being sold to bypass ROGO, totally different than when the T-shirts were printed with SAVE THE BALES.
Tavernier; When passing thru, did the old timers frequently ask," Is there a tavern here?"
Congrats to your family, a wonderful award.
