Some things sound, and even look pretty good, when you're evaluating information about what may, or may not be a good destination. Well, this destination at Bahia Honda State Park, on Bahia Honda Key, has so far, exceeded our expectations. As the photo shows, if we were any closer to the water, the waves would be lapping onto the front of the motor home. It's often interesting how things happen, and in this case, we had not planned the Florida Keys as a destination, until a few weeks ago. Due to weather and schedules, we missed the outer banks of North Carolina, and due entirely to weather, we missed the Cape Cod area of Massachusetts. We thought that our stay at the Virginia Landing Thousand Trails would be a good stay on the Atlantic coast, but that turned out to NOT be a nice coastal location. So, I started looking at the keys, since we had been to Key West on 3 previous occasions, and knew that most of the keys are indeed a tropical paradise. During the initial investigation on the Internet, and after a few phone calls, the least expensive RV parks I could find were in the $70-90 range! It's not that we can't afford to pay that rate, it's just plain and simple, we're cheapskates, tightwads, scrooge like, when it comes to a place to park the motor home. After a few more hours of on line checking, I discovered a 4 day opening, for a water front site here at Bahia Honda, and the total was $172. When checking in, I was told that most people have to book many months ahead, for the very few sites that are right on the water. Whatever it is, Karma, good luck, perfect timing, we're here, and loving it. The other pictures were taken on the drive out to the keys. Couldn't resist the "Last Chance" sign!
