We left the Keys, Curry Hammock state park 2 weeks ago and saw on the news about the screwworm. We have 2 Cockers so I googled what it was. When we HAD to stop at the check point in Key Largo all that was done was to inform us what to look for and a flier was supplied. I already knew about most from the google search. Dogs are always on the 6' leash and under controll and had no open cuts. Scary stuff

I had to Google "screwworm" to find out exactly what it is.

Unbelievable the devastation it has caused to the Key Deer population.

Screwworm in Big Pine and No Name Keys

As stated

- Bahia Honda is worth the trip
- Dry Tortugas is probably my favorite place down there. Simply beautiful

I do agree scooters are the best way to get around the island however I belive the rental companies state the scooters aren't suppose to leave key west.

The KOA a few mikes away rents pontoon boats, not sure how their prices compare

As others stated it is a long drive from bluewater to st Augustine, it's doable though. I usually make that druventhenother direction, from KOA/bluewater/Boyd's to beaverly beach. Traffic is questionable, early start is a must

Thank you to everyone for replying. I am searching and bookmarking as we speak.

I just started to use Google Trips app, you can save places via your google maps then it is all together in this app. I hope this will provide useful for this trip.
