What a trip! Really enjoyed it. National Parks & Forests are the way to go overlanding. 

Jeep is packed. Top is down. On my way north to Deland,FL to meet up with Kyle for dinner. No I didn’t wash it. The “No’s” won my FB poll.   Instagram http://bit.ly/2VS3uqz

A few highlights of today’s photo shoot of the Blind Squirrel of Key West Charters.  Up at 6:00AM for sunrise shots, on board shots until noon, helicoper shots at 12:30. Back on board for styled interior and exterior shots and back out for nights shots at 7:30. Just another day in Key West. Heading home tomorrow. Hope to get home by Saturday. Goal is to drive on as many beaches as I can on the East Coast on the way home. First stop is Daytona Beach tomorrow and dinner with Kyle in Deland, FL. 

Early morning to shoot the BlindSquirrel    Atvsunrise. I’ll be on one of Capt. Mike’s other Key  West fishing charter boats to take the shots. Then in a helicopter later. Then on board to get action shots of fishing this afternoon. Maybe I’ll even sit in one of those big chairs and learn a little bit about fishing. via Instagram http://bit.ly/2FvwUoM

My home for the next few days and my model for tomorrow. I will be shooting the @blind_squirrel_charters from the air, from another boat for the sunrise and on board while we fish. 63ft of shear comfort and a fishing machine. Largest fishing charter boat in Key West. @keywestcharters thank you for hospitality and the delicious breakfast sandwich this morning .

I made it! One of my favorite places in the world. Left Massachusetts on Sunday at 1:30AM. 62:27 hours driving, 2,188.2 miles, 12 states & stayed in 4 national forests.  No hotels, no restaurants and no fast food except for those two slices in West Virginia. (Which were delicious!) Trip back on Tuesday should be just as fun. Plan on driving on as many beaches I can along the East Coast from Florida to Massachusetts.
