The obligatory pic at the Southernmost Point.

So close......

Nice pic herf.

Just go the rest of the way and hook us all up.

Nice to meet you both.

cool pic

I have a picture somewhere of me standing right there.......otherwise I have no recollection of being there.

As a teenager, I drove my VW bus down there with a few buddies. We got pretty hammered on Duval St.

We had to get back north to get to our campsite at Sunshine Key.........so all we had to do was point the bus north and go for it.

Somehow we ended up at the southernmost point in the USA.

^ LOL

Thank goodness for pics.

Been there

I've been to Key West 100 times, but never to that place . . .

Go Figure . . .

#5 You'd think the Mile Marker 0 would have warned you.

BTW, Mrs. Pacman and I spent out first anniversary there. Well, Key West, not at that exact spot (although we have pics of us there somewhere). July 4, 1996...planned to have dinner on the beach and watch fireworks after snorkeling offshore.

Storm kicked up, we ended up back at the motel room, intending just to clean up after snorkeling. Storm hit right as the Chinese Food delivery guy arrived. Spent our first anniversary watching a hellacious storm, by candlelight. Found out later they shot off two fireworks and cancelled the show.

Love the place. If you ever get a chance to go back, and you've never done the trip out to Ft. Jefferson, I highly recommend it. Go on the US Forest Service tour, too. And bring your diving or snorkeling gear...very good around there, very few people.

I know...blah, blah, blah. BTW, hung out in Little Havana on our way back last time (3d time to KW). Very cool side trip.

NEIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was there just 4 months ago!!! I go there every year, a GREAT place to party, and cigar vendors every 50 ft., or less!!. I have the same photo of myself at that marker.

^Yeah, and every one of them seems to either claim to have "real" Cohibas (Fauxiba City, folks) or their prices are worse than the guy near my home who charges $49.99 for Casa Fuentes.

it was nice to smoke the unending supply of cigars that are rolled there. Some places there you can see the rollers as they make these. Many are actuallly very tastey, and of perfect contruction. there are those who offer "cuban" haha cigars, the everyday cigar smoker knows to stay away from these...but many tourists often fall for these. 😞

a recent raid a couple of weeks ago resulted in the arrest of 6 peole, some cigar store owners, for the selling of these "cuban" cigars.

The un-banded Key West cigars are a great value,as well as a good smoke and all I smoke other than the ones I bring from home.

^these un-banded Key West cigars can be bought from $2-6, depending on size, and design, (the 2 wrapper "barber pole" smokes w/ conn.& maduro leaves)

the good thing about these are the fact u can barter the price. If you are a clever buyer.

(have your role of money in back pocket, leaving only 2 or 3 single bills in front pockets)...this is all I have, maybe later....the seller then reluntantly says ok, $2. hehe

Somewhere floating along the ether of the internet is a clip of me singing at Two Friends karaoke night - whoever said "You can never have too many mudslides" never had too many mudslides.

For me the best place to enjoy a cigar is the Green Parrot - always great music!

How can it be the home of the sunset? Shouldn't that be one of the westernmost locations like Alaska or Guam?

I have a few pictures of some nice sunsets while I was last there, one I believe while herfing with some frinds I met there. One taken in Mallory Square alongside all the performing artists. I was actually used to help an escape artist during one of his nightly shows/acts. need to find those pics. & post a good one. I have the exact picture from above at that marker, taken in the night w/ myself that a passerby took. Lots of great times there, Sloppy Joes, Flying Monkeys Saloon, which makes the best grain alcohol frozen drinks, 2 and you're buzzed before you know it!!! Can't wait 'till next spring....

^Come up to the Pacific NW some Summer. We get sunsets that put those to shame...some that last a couple hours, and will light up the interior of our home with various hues.

Will be there on Thursday for four days... annual Key West Poker Run. YEAH!!!!!

will you be smoking cigars..........silly question I know, just wish I could be there as well....

Damn, I need a vacation to escape.

Charlie

Been there many time
