We had a last minute change in plans. We caught wind through the “campers grapevine” that Long Key SP 35miles south of Key Largo was open on a contingent basis. That park is listed as closed for renovations. It seems that delay in the work has allowed the park to open its campground on a day to day basis. Yippee for us! We had 9 days open without reservations and will stay here at Long Key until they kick us out or our 2 week limit. We came here Friday, 20th. 
This is a favorite park for us. Every campsite is on the ocean. You get beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and it has one of the best beaches in the Keys as there is not really many beaches in the Keys, good hiking and biking too. Les is very happy. The weather has been great. Lows in the 60's and highs in the upper 70's. Shorts and sandals weather. 
Oh my, camper food for us is special. Here you see a meal of grilled pork steaks with creamy shallot sauce and grilled asparagus. The next day we made some gumbo, Yum. It was a lot of preparation but well worth the effort. 
I caught another butterfly here at this park. I must get my identification book out now. Below is some plovers gathered on the rocks as they were being covered by the incoming tide just behind our camper. It is so fun to watch the birds here. As I mentioned above, we will stay here as long as they keep the campground open or our 14 day limit, which ever comes first. We will adjust our schedule to fit. Les wants as much time here as he can get.
