Weather permitting, I'm taking some time off work in January to head South to check out the Everglades and Keys.
My initial plan has me making the sprint south in one day. Conveniently from my doorstep to a gas station (just before 40-50 miles of nothing to the campground) is about 1010 miles. The rough plan is to camp for a few nights at the Flamingo campground, then spend a couple nights camping at Key West. I figure my best bet for an SS1K would probably be the trip down (even though the return would be slightly longer starting in Key West). I'm just a bit skeptical that 1013 "google" miles is going to be sufficient at the end of the day. Once that gas station is passed, I don't think I'll find anything that I could document a stopping point with.
The SS1K isn't a primary mission of this trip, so if I don't pull it's no big deal. About the only thing I have "planned" is either taking the boat out to Dry Tortugas or going out on a head boat one day while I'm there, everything else will just be whatever sounds interesting at the time.
