Nah...she was just the only one worth the effort of takin a look. The rest were either children or pensioners. The fun is just about over though. We split off from @Steel in Gulfport, MS so he could meet his new nephew and then decided to call it a night in Covington, LA. 300 more miles tomorrow and we are home. Pretty chilly run today @ around 35 deg F and a few rain showers. Not sure what that equates to in wind chill as us southern boys just call it D@MN cold. Nurse Ratchet got her first road trip out of the way. When we get home we will have 3,100 miles or so on the trip meter.

Again, thank you so much for sharing, and inspiring.

Here's to arriving safely, and still good friends.

Hope to see you next year.

Damm fine trip and write up all the way around!

Glad y'all have had such a big time, and sorry to see that the cold is catching up with you (or you're meeting up with it).

We'll be putting on the jackets, and heading up to Neon Leon's in Homosassa tomorrow, with a stop at Peck's in Ozello, then back to The Upper Deck in Weeki Wachee (1/2mile from the house) to finish off the afternoon.

A few local businesses deserve mentioning. We chartered the Blue Ice and had a great trip in perfect weather down the keys just long enough to lose my phone so no pics, and then back to Key West. Maybe @Steel will share some. You can see pics of the boat online at www.blueicesailing.com. We also took a day trip on the Sebago Cubed for snorkeling, etc. good crew and a good day. We stayed at the Santa Maria Suites. Good place and well situated to the places we wanted to be. We were also introduced to the best 3:00 am breakfast joint. Sandy's is attached to a laundromat at the corner of White and Virginia if you ever find you are in need
