We left the RV park on much more pleasant roads and eventually ended up on a bike lane/bus lane only. Damn good thing we have a RWGPS file to use alongside the RWGPS cue sheets, because the cue sheet's generated by RWGPS can really be crappy. We worked our way to Rt 1. It is a 1-2 lane divided highway in each direction, with a wide shoulder strewn with debris. I'm quite sure we will get multiple flats on the approximately 30 miles of it we ride today. It was loud, with no shade, but an amazing 15-20 mph tail wind. We came into Key Largo just after 11:30am, stopping to purchase an extra tube each at a bike shop, then did some shopping at Publix. At the campground, we trotted off to visit the "beach", which is little more than a strip of land for launching kayaks, filled with organic debris. We did see a wading bird called a limpkin, kind of speckly brown and got up close and personal with mangrove seedlings. The seeds drop off the trees, land in the water and float around vertically, until the bottom of the pod touches a good spot to anchor, then roots there. Tomorrow is a by day, so Dwight and I went out to eat at The Catch. The snorkeling trip tomorrow has already been canceled due to high winds.
