We finally arrived at Boyd's campground after 6 days on the road. It is a long way down here. We had reservations for a water front site and after we got down here all they could give us was a waterfront site behind thick trees. The price was reduced from about a $100 a night down to $80 as a way of compensation. We are between two airports and we get a lot of jet noise. One airport is at a naval air station on the next island over. The fighter jets are taking off and landing all day. Luckily they stop flying about 7 pm so sleeping is noise free. Rode the bikes heading for downtown Key West which is 5 miles. About half way there we had enough with the sun was so hot and I am too old, had to head back to camp. We spent the afternoon setting on the shore line watching the jets, pelicans, boats and fish in the water. Water very clear, and some places a aquamarine color. Tonight the campground put on a free hot dog and beans supper. I have never seen so many people getting free hot dogs. To pay for some of these expensive motorhomes they probably have to cut back on eating .We also had free ice cream. Here are some of the pics.
