Moved again farther South

We left FT Myers on Monday morning and drove about 250 miles south to Big Pine Key. We are at the Sunshine Key RV Resort. It is about 30 miles from Key West. It is a nice park just glad our membership lets us stay here for 23.00 a night instead of the 100.00 they charge others. Yesterday we took the bike to Key West just to see what all was around. There isn't lots to see there but there is some nice stuff. We first went to Fort Zachery Tayler State Park. It is an old fort that was built 1845 and was held by the Union all through the Civil War and never attacked. Nice place to go through and see what all was there. It was upgraded through the years but abandoned 1947. It is now part of a State park with beaches and all that stuff.
We then rode around the town and went to the southern most point in the US. Ok big deal but at least we can say we have been there. Then off for more ridding to Key Deer Wildlife Refuge.The Key Deer are on the endangered list. They are a bit on the small side in size but are doing good again here in this area. Then to a place called the Blue Hole. It is a fresh water pond with fish, birds and Alligators. Kind of nice to walk into and see. Then off again to the Bahia Honda State Park. It is on the ocean side and has great beach access with real nice sand and warmer water. That was a fun day but last night it rained real hard so we didn't do much today at all.
