The reason I was on the sidewalk was because my pal, Paul, took a wrong turn out of KW and I was behind him and did not follow him, so I led the group around to the right road and had to pull onto the sidewalk to wait for him to do a U turn. His new road name is Wrong Way Paul as it was his 3rd time messing up that day.

 

Dang, from the photos I see that was an interesting ride. I remember when the 7 mile bridge was a lil two laner that scared the hell out of everyone, that was back when I lived in Marathon.
Excellent photo catchin Lauren playin bully on the sidewalk

 

Uh, the 7mile bridge is still just two lanes. And yeah, it does get scary when A-holes happen. That shot of the 4 lane bridge is South of the 7mile bridge.

 

Glad you guys had a good time.

I know what Tampa fatboy is talking about. Before those wide bridges were built, the bridges were very narrow. Trucks would slap mirrors all the time. My high school went down a couple of times in the early 70s to play football games. Those bridges were very narrow. In fact you can see them in the pictures and are used for fishing structures now.

MJ remembers, those old bridges were a trip. I remember the lil honey I was with back then, she'd tuck her head between hers knees and screech all the way across...lol

 

Nice pic's, we couldn't swing the ride on Christmas day would have loved to make it, family stuff....you know. Went down on the 27th and came back on the 28th. Traffic was really bad in a few spots going south to Key West, was a breeze coming back.

 

is that you with your hat sideways gangster style? I like the look.

 

No, I was taking the picture and didn't see that photobomber.... it was like 8 am Sunday morning. It was still Saturday night for that guy I'm quite sure....lol
