10:01 AM = Left motel
3935.1 Trip miles
22,021 total miles
73 F
60% oil life
100% fuel

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, Its off to the Keys I go!

10:08/3937.7 = Back on Good ole I-75 @ x116

10:19/3951.2 = x101 at Napoli (oops... Naples, FL)

10:29/3958.3 = Turned left on U.S. 41 (again)

11:13 AM/22,086 total miles = 4000 trip miles (at m58) (60% oil life)

Will I double it?

Lot of birds all around, so I've closed the moonroof, but windows are open

11:52/4039.6 = Turned right on Hwy 997

12:38/4061.9 = Checked in @ Comfort Inn Florida City

Also reduced the weight of the car and on the road again at 12:50PM

$8 = 4.854 gallons = 4062.3 miles. Filled up gas before heading South -- it will be more expensive down there

1:10/4066 = Passed m124

3:31/4156.1 = Turned around at one island past West Summerland Key... (mile 32.5)...

I'm not going to Key West -- the traffic was bumper-to-bumper for the last 3 miles with no signs of easing up, and I dont wanna be stuck behind all these people on the way back too -- so now I'm on my way back to Florida City... It's been a fun ride till now!

5:08/4228.8 = Stayed straight on 905 instead of left on U.S. 1 back to Florida City

5:40/4254.2 = Back on U.S. 1 -- This was a GREAT detour!

One minute and 0.7 mile later = Parked at Comfort Inn
