We meet at the First Presbyterian Church and leave at midnight and drive to Lexington. The Dairy Queen at Clay City is closed, so we grab a bite at a Waffle House in Lexington at 3:00 am.We leave Lex. early and finally make it to Key West. Nice place! After a short tour and a quick bite, we head out to the Briton Environmental Center.
Check in is quick and easy and we meet our Mate, Sam McWilliams from Illinois. Strange guy, but most of the staff so far are. Reminds me of my Maine days.
After supper, we are treated to a campfire and a slide show to introduce us to all of the plants and critters we are about to encounter.
Being up 36 straight hours without sleep is tough, but it is worth it. We are here!
Hogg poses in Key West.
A good sign to finally see!
