Okay, we’ll admit it right off the bat: The Overseas Highway isn’t the most thrilling road this country has to offer. There are no sweeping turns or snow-topped summits to cross; instead, this mostly two-lane highway is a straight shot over the flattest of landscapes. The views, however…
The wife and I have traveled the Overseas Highway many times including our first trip in 1972 when the old narrow bridge was in service. It was certainly a "white knuckle" moment every time you met an oncoming truck.
Years later when we became snowbirds, and the new bridges were in place, we did it in a 38' diesel pusher motorhome for several winters. The Keys are a different world and great place to visit. Bahia Honda is awesome.
One more thing, we discovered that there used to be an SCCA Solo 1 down there that used a section of abandon road near Summerland Key. I don't think they do that anymore.
