February 28, 2000

I slept better that night and was on my way back up the Keys the next morning (2-28).  I do remember waking up two or three times in the middle of the night hearing the arguments of the couple in the tent next to mine.  “Get your _____ feet out of my face.”  “Stay on your own _____ side of the tent.”  Real loving couple, they were.

I got a break with the wind today.  It wasn’t blowing hard at all, and what there was seemed to be coming out of the northwest – more crosswise to me than against me.  That allowed me to get back to Fiesta Key well before dark, even with time taken to change a flat tire (small piece of wire).

I’m staying again at the KOA (where I stayed on the way down) and my total camping bill for the past four days is now $198.  I’m just looking at this as if it were vacation (why not - the weather, scenery and attractions are all great), and I’m not going to be upset by the cost.  Anyhow, motel rooms for four days would have cost about $600.  Let me just say that despite the cost of lodging, the Keys are an absolutely delightful place to visit in February.
