The oldest fort in the states at the far end of Key West. 6 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like that whole off the beaten track type imagery if the gulf states , there’s a creole trail in Louisiana that those images remind me of , it features heavily in true detective season 1, you’d be all over it mate 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 30,004 Posted December 27, 2025 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2025 (edited) Had our last day on the keys yesterday, mission was to find Fin a big fish...we were a bit under-gunned when we finally found them, 4 runs on the "big" rods all smashed up... mental power, probably groupers..then he had 2 runs on his light rod fishing for snapper... God knows what they were, put they ran for the horizon and nothing was stopping them.. Boxing day sandwiches in the sun and the best sunset Ive ever seen... made Miami now, staying here for the night then starting the trip to Nashville over the next few days.. https://youtube.com/shorts/CYZzT-GUuik?si=3kAYFCKDmhqgqsFa https://youtube.com/shorts/hNRGVeLlXAw?si=_yDNP_rl4uOGCGaG Edited December 27, 2025 by NEWKID Spelling 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
