After leaving the Jolly Roger Travel Park, we went further south down the keys, past the seven-mile bridge, to Bahia Honda State Park. We were hoping to do some snorkeling in the afternoon at the park. As we were waiting in the entrance line to go into the park, the car behind us rammed the back of our trailer. The driver said his car suddenly accelerated (he wasn’t driving a Toyota) – luckily, it appeared that he was uninjured and that our trailer and their vehicle were okay. We went ahead into the park and found one spot where we could back our trailer and motor home into. Greg is the master at backing the trailer into just about any reasonable spot, but for some reason, it just wasn’t working. Finally, after multiple tries, I suggested that we just take the trailer off, push it into the spot, and then back in the motor home. When we took the trailer off, we discovered that the force of the impact had severely bent our trailer hitch. We felt very fortunate to have discovered it, as it could have been a big disaster to have the trailer come off the motor home while we drove. We left the trailer in the park and then drove to Marathon to buy a new trailer hitch. After bringing it back and it took until about 2:30 pm to get it on the motor home and get the trailer back on. Well, we decided it was still a beautiful day for a bike ride, so we rode down to this beach in the park and enjoyed sitting out for a while. After a nice afternoon, we drove to the next campsite, set up camp and then went out for dinner and key lime pie!
