First! A current Critter Report:January 10, 2008. Mile Marker 122.8 (Sure they are all happy until they hit the construction zone at 118) Heading South on the South Bound side of the stretch. Two Critters on bikes wearing no helmets, baseball caps on backwards and orange towels covering their rear ends. Mid 30's. Good old boy bikers. Not a whiff of spandex or silly traffic flag on either of

I have all these little post-it notes with critter sightings scribbled on them and as I find them I will post them and then throw them out finally. First up is from last year about this time:January 7, 2007. Mile Marker 124 Heading South on the South Bound side of the stretch. Critter on a bike wearing a helmet, muscle shirt, dolphn shorts. Mid 30's. I guess it was warm out that day but most

k. this one is creepy because 1935 was the year of the Labor Day Hurricane that wiped out Islamorada. 200 mph winds driving water that destroyed the road you see under construction. They sent the train down to evacuate the workers but it never made it back to the mainland.Here is a pictorial of the construction and of the damage after the hurricane.

The explainerNo End in SightDriving the eighteen mile stretchBy Cindy Cruciger I call it the bunny trial. From mile marker 104 at Black water Sound, to Florida City. Monday through Friday, at whatever weird hour I manage to get up and get going, the eighteen mile stretch is waiting. Here's the first big decision of the morning, caffeine. This breaks up into two splinters. Do I need

Screw the lawsuits. Someone has to watch these people. Critter reports are back. Here is what I could recover from the archives. Check in for more recent sightings later. There are people living in the Everglades and every now and then I see them heading down the stretch on foot or on a bike. There are also crazy people who migrate South just for the hell of it. With construction going on

This morning we went to Doc's Diner, bayside at Mile Marker 99 for breakfast. It used to be Ganims (25 years) and when they sold it the optometrist next door bought the place. Great place to get a decent breakfast for two for under $20. Angel Puff went off with her friends for the night last night. Treasured Offspring number two went off with his friends for the night last night. Dave and I
