Key WestKey West, Florida LandmarksJanuary 25th through 29th, 2009 This travellog covers several days of exploring Key West. We are dry camping on the Navy Base at Trumbo Point in Key West. I am a retired DOD civilian and the Navy allows retired DOD civilians to camp in the Navy facilities as long as there is space available. We are paying $12 a night to dry camp on a grass field along with over 600 other RV's. All I can say is: It is wonderful. Mallory Square crowd gathering for the nightly sunset celebration a Key West, Florida tradition
Joyce shot this picture of the crowd gathered at Mallory Square for the evening sunset ritual. There is actually three to five times this many people you just can't get them all in a single picture. No overnight parking sign and a beautiful Royal Palm tree in Key West, Florida
Key West is warm all winter long thus making it a magnet for snowbirds to escape the agony in the frozen north. The island of Key West is small and parking is scarce, as in very scarce. There is not any space, or tolerance by locals, for folks that want to live in their vehicles on city streets. None of us would want individuals living out of their vehicles in front of our homes and businesses. Signs like this are fairly common in places that have severe problems. Stealth overnighting in Key West is difficult. The city has to have this policy since there isn't any room and there are so many individuals trying to do it that it just can not be allowed. That is a nice royal palm tree behind the sign.
