Day 160 Homestead to Key Largo FL. – 24 Miles

2/7/2015

20150207_181816The Boardwalk rv park provided a peaceful place for us to rest our heads. We had a neighbor and she was one of those ladies that fed all the cats in the neighborhood. Some of her litter slept underneath the truck and trailer but didn’t make a peep. The hot, forceful water of the showers at the park washed away all my aches and I drifted into sleep the moment I hit the bed.

IMG_1458Before departing the next day, we had to maintain the trailer. That meant dumping the sewage. But that chore brought us to Rick and Sandy. The nice couple from Pennsylvania gave us a sendoff with a blessing. Every time I have hit the road after a prayer, wind would kick up under my feet.

I never knew there were so many mustangs in Florida. Motorcyclists and drivers gave thumbs up and honks of encouragement. My lungs took in pounds of air while the sun scorched. Was it really winter?
