Don't
expect a technical challenge, this ain' t Deals Gap. This
ride is about scenery and wildlife. On the plus side, there's
lots of opportunity for spirited throttle twisting in reasonable
safety on the Tamiami Trail from Naples to Homestead. Watch
for gators, snakes, and turtles. From Key Largo to Key West,
it's all about the water. Parts of this stretch will take
your breath away, and the relaxed pace along the straight
road provides ample Zen. Once in Key West, it gets crowded
and corny. Check out the southernmost spot in the USA and
high-tail it out of there. The return trip is just as nice!

Road Quality:

|
Florida's
roads are usually in excellent due to the warm weather and
the tourist industry which provides lots of tax dollars
to keep the roads nice.

Be
sure to gas up in Naples, as it can be a long walk to
gas on the Tamiami Trail. You'll pass the Everglades
National Park when you get near Homestead ... the
park is open year round and offers a lot of things to
do and learn about! Once past Homestead, you'll find plenty
of cheesy tourist traps and excellent seafood along the
way as the Keys have some of the most attractive tourist
options in all of Florida.

Start
your drive in Naples
Florida. Once there, it's easy to find 41 (AKA Tamiami
Trial). Take 997 south to AVOID MIAMI (if you don't like
traffic). Keep a look out for the signs lead to Key
Largo and once you get on route 1 you are home free all
the way to Key West!!! However, getting lost on this trip
could only be a good thing, unless you head to Miami on
your way back like I did once! Ugh.
