If you go to Big Pine, have lunch at the No Name Pub. "A nice place if you can find it."

Heck yes! My middle son use to spend a month on Big Pine Key at a marine research center during the summers. A night wreck dive the day before, then lunch at No Name was part of our tradition for years!
 
Apparently one of my mom's co-workers, her father has a key named after him. Craig Key. Means nothing to me, but cool nonetheless.
 
BTW, if you want to do something a little unique, take a trip out to the Dry Tortugas and visit Ft Jefferson. That’s where they incarcerated Dr Mudd for treating John Wilkes Booth.

And, subsequently pardoned for helping save lives during a yellow fever outbreak at the prison fort. The largest spiny lobster I have ever seen were in the park on the inside of the south side of Loggerhead Key…friggin monsters. You can get out there by boat and seaplane.

John Deere dealership had a Christmas party last night. Was talking to the owner as well as the owner of one of the largest ready mix fleet in the area... Among other things. They just bought and renovated a restaurant in Marathon and bought a marina because they got tired of trying to find a place for their boats. One will be arriving the day I'm leaving. He tried to get me to stay longer to go fishing.

I would've done everything in my power to stay a little longer to go fishing with them. That's awesome though and cheaper than I would've thought. Thank you.

Already going for a week. With a business back home, can't let the inmates run the asylum too long. We'll pony up for a charter. But he's a great time. Apparently the restaurant just re opened a few weeks ago. Starfish Kitchen. Gonna have to check to it out.
