Five months ago, in June, we went camping at Bahia Honda State Park in the lower Keys, I had read several travel reviews on Bahia Honda, some good and some bad- our own experiences were, for the most part, quite good. After a four-hour-plus drive, we arrived at the Park and began setting up our camp. One of the reviews I'd read mentioned encountering rather aggressive raccoons (ever see John Candy in "The Great Outdoors") so we had planned on keeping everything inside the Jeep overnight. we did have a pretty good thunderstorm with quite a bit of wind and a little rain, but I think the raccoons stayed safely tucked in somewhere, as we saw no sign whatsoever of any critters.
We plan to return to the keys again on October 8th, again, just overnight, but this time we should be a bit more prepared. It has still been hot during the days and quite warm at night, I hope by the time we are camping it will have cooled a bit. If not I just might pack along a window AC unit for our tent!
This coming weekend I am again going down to the Keys camping, this time I will be taking the Indian River canoe I bought, and I will be using it to snorkel and fish the famous "Flats" of the Florida Keys. Even if I don"t catch anything it should be a nice experience.
The Weather is supposed to cooperate - highs of 82 and 83 degrees and lows of 75 & 76, this time with sunny skies. hope to have more to post afterward, maybe with photos this time.
