Bear Cut Bridge - Memorial Day on Key Biscayne

Oh my....sometimes it is just a better idea to ride a bike around the island of Key Biscayne. Today was one of those days.
These pictures were taken at approximately 5 o'clock PM and thankfully, for the sake of the traffic, it was an overcast day with just
a bit of rain threatening on and off. Had it been a picture perfect normal Key Biscayne day, then everyone would have left the island
all at one time as opposed to this constant flow off of the island. Fairly constant flow. It did stop as shown below in front of Crandon
Beach just hours before. Click here if you want to take a look at the what was going on at Crandon Park Beach.

It was a mess. But nowhere near as bad as it could have been. Notice the overcast sky? People don't leave when the sun is still out.
It would have been hours and hours wait to get off of the Key had it been any nicer out today. Part of this is due to the boats coming
and going in and out of Crandon Marina. Crandon Marina has become a joke all of its own, and of course the county then has the
nerve to tow vehicles after charging them to park, and allows the hundreds of vehicles in without any oversight. Here is another view
of what so many Key Biscayne visitors got to see today up and around the Bear Cut Bridge. Oh, if an accident would have happened
along the causeway, one could just add another couple of hours wait to travel the 6 miles off of Key Biscayne.
This does not happen often, but, it does happen and every time it does our best and finest act suprised.
A very clear, real life demonstration of our local governments at work. Money grabbing at one end and no responsibility at the other.
At least the view out of the window is beautiful. The price of living in Paradise.

Here is the view from the bike path that runs along side of the Rickenbacker Causeway heading off of Key Biscayne. The
buildings along Brickell Avenue and Miami are on the horizon as a boat leaves Crandon Park Marina (left on photo) with the
cars and other vehicles going up and over the Bear Cut Bridge. A walk to the right (of the photo) will take you to Crandon
Park Beach. If you would like to see what Crandon Park Beach looked like on this Memorial Day, click here.
While on the Bear Cut Bridge, one can look to their right and see the northernmost point on Key Biscayne which is pictured above.
This is one of the only fossilized mangrove reefs in the world.
Key Biscayne is so rich in history and is home to so many beautiful natural features that can be found nowhere else in the world.
