Re: Florida Keys?
We were in the keys over Christmas at Blue Water Key RV Resort, it is at mile marker 14. Most of the damage there was repaired, only a few sites still had damage to docks and Tiki huts. Further up there is still a lot of damage, lots of garbage still piled along the road for miles. Marathon was up and running but some of the stores still had not opened. In Key West itself everything was normal, not much evidence of damage. We did not go snorkeling but were told some of the reefs were damaged and the water was still cloudy. There were a number of destroyed boats and RV along the road the further up you went. There were 5 or 6 on the side of the road by the KOA. One of the RV resorts was completely destroyed, all of the utility poles and water spigots were in a big pile, they were in the process of bulldozing it, hopefully to rebuild.278Views0likes0CommentsRe: Michigan to Key West

What About Atlanta, always here it was a nightmare to get through?? Just avoid Atlanta at rush hour, which seems to run 7am - 8pm. I always drive straight through, no bypass.350Views0likes0CommentsRe: Michigan to Key West

Dean Definitely plan to do this, just not sure if I should get the transponder for $20 or just get the sticker for $5. Also need to figure out if I need one of the motorhome and the toad or if they will figure it out. Thanks to all those that responded, looks like we will definitely stick to 75.349Views0likes0CommentsRe: Thoughts on this MH for our first?
I have a 2013 Newmar Canyon Star 3940 that I bought last fall. Love it, can't say enough good things about the Newmar. Previously owned Coachmen, Damon. Definitely a step up in quality with Newmar. As far as Mountain Aire, I think that is only a Diesel Pusher now but I may be wrong. From what I have read on Newmar Baystar and Canyon Star are the gas models now, not sure when that changed but I am pretty sure Mountain Aire is only a Diesel now. Someone will correct me if I am wrong, but if the price is right I think you will be happy with the Canyon Star, I know I am. You can also go over to the IRV2 web site, they have a specific section for Newmar owners. Have found a lot of good info there. Good luck and let us know what you end up doing.316Views0likes0CommentsRe: Key West info request

If you decide to go there, know there are TWO booking sites..Bluewaterkey.COM and Bluewaterkey.NET. .COM is the OFFICIAL website. Sites start at $100/night and go up from there. .NET is the off shoot because of some in-house disagreements. Rates thru .NET start at $75/night. The sites are the same.....Dennis Thanks for that info and didn't know of the difference when we last booked for a stay, but just checked the sites and found that .com was the most reasonable. Don't know if you might have gotten them backwards or if I'm missing something here. I booked through the .com site for Dec 2017. Rates were cheaper and .NET was not accepting reservation until April. They said when they did open up reservations the monthly reservations would get priority. Looking forward to it, this will our first time to the Keys.408Views0likes0Comments
