This was Joan’s first trip to Curry Hammock State Park<\/a>, Stu’s favorite place to relax in the Keys. Curry covers the whole of Crawl Key, just east of Marathon about half way down the Keys. It was at one time the site of a major construction yard for the Overseas Railroad, but much of the island has never been developed thus it is largely old growth jungle common to the Keys swampland.<\/p>\n

The developed campground occupies only a small fraction of the park on the South Side of the Overseas Highway. On the North Side there is a developed hiking and bicycle trail and miles of undeveloped trails that remain to be explored on a later trip.<\/p>\n

The park is located just the right distance from home. The city life is behind us and the independence of camping is just around the corner.<\/p>\n
