lo
oks like 75 will take us into Fort Laurderdale maybe we would like to go on down and take the 41 across

 

OK Farmboy I see it now 75 to Naples then 41 to Sweetwater then the 997 down to Homestead

 

He Jonesee, what is the traffic like this time of year in the keys? Been twenty years since I was there and know it can be a hassle even back then.

 

Jonesee we wil be leaving San Francisco on or about the 8th of June going down the P.C.H. to San Diego then the 10 across

 

In June, traffic will be as light as it gets.
Go on a weekday and it will save you a ton of time.

For the most part, it is still 2 lane and you can only go as fast as Grandpa driving the motorhome, or the guy pulling his boat.

They have added a second lane as best they can, and on a motorcycle you can change lanes quick enough to get past a lot of the traffic.

It isn't a road to get in a hurry on though.

 

I just looked at the calendar and June 10-14 is Key West Pride.
I assume you will be arriving after the 14th.

If not:
Get your hotel now and bring an open mind.

In Key West, parking is a premium. Look for a hotel that offers parking on premises. I had good luck at a Bed and Breakfast this summer that allowed my wife and I and another couple park our bikes behind their gates on a terrace or patio area. It worked out real well. The B&B was cheaper than a lot of hotels.

 

The only toll road in the keys is Card Sound Road, and that's just $2
No need to take Card Sound Road. Just blast down the turnpike til it ends, then stay on the road headed south til you arrive in Key West.

 

Last Feb we rented a bike in Ft Myers and rode to Key West. WE stayed at a place called Authors of Key West. Walking distance to Duval on White St. Easy parking on the side street. The Tamami Trail is US 41. 2 lane road & I'd guess the "old road". Been at the farth north end of it (Copper Harbor MI) and the far south end of it just north of Homestead FL.

 

Jonesee I did not know about Key West pride thanks for letting me know I should be getting there on about Mon the 15th So I should be good to go don't need no stinkin pride

 

Jonesee

are there any motels/hotels that you recommend

thanks for you in put here
