Key West Minature Deer





Driving through the Florida Keys from Miami to Key West you'll pass through Big Pine Key. A portion of it has large fences on each side of the road to keep wildlife from crossing and omninous signs proclaiming a wildlife preserve for the endagered Key Deer. Signs and flashing lights remind you to travel at no more than 45 m.p.h. during the day, 35 m.p.h. during the night. I've traveled this route a few times before and I always look for the deer but I've never seen them.
Today I left my camp in Bahia Honda looking for a laundromat and a grocery story. I found both in Big Pine Key and went driving to explore around sunset. To my surprise, I finally found the miniature Key West Deer.
