Bahia Honda State Park, Florida

Miccosukee Indian Casino...sun rises

February 2014
On the way down to the Keys we usually stop and overnight at the Miccosukee Indian Casino.  On this occasion as always, we were not alone. It was quiet where we were and not too hot. 





Get a fruit milkshake!
We got up early the next morning to get to Robert is Here fruit/veggie stand.  Hot on my list was the strawberry milkshake made with fresh strawberries.  David had Key Lime...both were delicious!  We bought fresh veggies/fruits for our first week in the Keys.






Beaching it in Bahia!
We were lucky to spend time this year in Bahia Honda State Park. If you can get past the road noise factor, it is quite a nice park. Our time is spent swimming, biking (5 mile loop we invented within the park), walking the beaches, kayaking.






Dear daughter comes for beach week!
This year it was especially nice to be here because while the temperatures ranged from high 70's to low 80's here in the Keys, winter raged on up North with a fury. The pictures tell the story. Favorite restaurants: Square Grouper (hey, they have a gluten free menu) and Big Pine Restaurant and Keys Fisheries.




Another fine sunset


Big Pine Flea market gets us some fresh veggies. Cell reception was spotty this time around and we had to sit in one particular spot in trailer. It wasn't much better when we went outside. We did have better reception up on the Old Bahia Honda Bridge:)

Fish in the quarry are right by water's edge



Flat water morning...gorgeous clouds


Tent camping by the quarry


You can rent one of these cabins!


Sun rises at low tide
This is a really good reason to get up early to bike ride!


Love the early morning bike rides
