yeah, the keys have become so touristy, it's tough to have a relaxing time. I lived there for a couple years back in my early 20s. it's changed. I've changed. like you said, the drive down is stop and go all the way down. don't matter what time of day or night. always traffic. that has a lot of bearing on where I plan to settle down in 6 years. I love the area. I hate what it's become.

I haven't been back to the keys in about 12 years. I miss going down there, but I just can't bring myself to pay what it cost's to go down there now.

Agree with others sentiments. Been going there every couple of years or so since I was 13, now 43. Not only has a lot changed, but people suck so much more these days. A great place to stay is White Gate Court on lower Matecumbe. Dog friendly, free boat dockage up to 26 feet, free on site trailer parking, 7 or 8 1940s bungalows all in a "natural park like setting" on Matecumbe Bight. Near MM 76 or so.

Agree about not going past 7 mile bridge.

My Pompano Beach buddies just got back from a Dry Tortugas trip out of Stock Island. Dock covered in big muttons...beautiful

That's a bucket list trip for me.
