We have been in John Pennekamp SP, Key Largo, since January 9th . The weather has been very good with many shorts n' sandal days. Another benefit to camping is meeting wonderful people. At this park we have shared a couple of evenings socializing and playing Sequence with Kristie and John from Mich.
We have had some very nice paddles in the mangroves. Paddling here is like floating in an aquarium. The water is so clear making it easier to see the life under it. Fishes, sea grass, and coral. 
Another nice thing in this park is an old orchard to hike to. We were fortunate that this is the time when the key limes were ripening. We have made some refreshing key limeade. 
Years past have offered us some great bird pictures, but so far this year we seem to be blessed with butterflies. So pretty and graceful.
We hope to get another paddle in before we leave Saturday, 21st. If the weather cooperates and the wind stays calm. Our plan is to go to Everglade NP, Flamingo CG. But we are hearing of the possibility of getting to camp at Long Key SP before their construction begins. If we can we will take a few days there.
