>We drove our '81 Westie from Arizona to Key West and back right after Christmas. It was a great trip, and we really enjoyed the Keys, but I have to tell you that from the standpoint of somebody from Arizona, there is NO back country in the Keys.
Not unless you have a boat... then there's plenty. Of course an Arizonian wouldn't even think of that ;-) I was down in KW the first week in Jan we might have been there at the same time .... still a fair number of buses in sight. From what I gather from the friend I was visiting, a long time * conch* ( local), some of them are *conch cruisers* as in it will never make it off the island. Some of them though, are brought down to KW by assorted counter-culture types and left behind when the dough runs out. I actually saw some pretty decent rigs. Of course being from WI anything that doesn't have gaping rust holes in it looks good to me. Len |
