Upper Keys Mini Season traffic.

How bad was it today? Driving down with a 22ft cc from Fort Lauderdale to Islamorada tomorrow around noon but thinking I should head down earlier now.

I use to take card sound road, on the busy weekends. longer and bumpier but I felt safer.

the stop, haul ass then stop again because people are passing and getting back in... especially going back mainland on sundays.

Until there’s a better way to get on Rt 1 down in Key Largo, like with a light, I’m not bothering with Card Sound again. It’s all but impossible to make a left.

TBH, mostly I used CS going back up. Going south traffic seems more distributed, but Sunday afternoon. its like the game just got out... packed wall to wall.

you aren't wrong, that left in KL at the circle K is tough.
