The Big Pine Key Adventure Tour Bus took us  to Virginia International Raceway, near Danville, VA., on yet another odyssey. 

       It's so far in the middle of nowhere, we couldn't get there from here, we had to go somewhere else to start.

Here are a few pictures from that adventure.

Just click on the thumbnail for the full size picture.

Doggone hot that day, wasn't it?  But it's a dry heat! :>)

Can you say Ferrari? 

There, I knew you could!

Here's a picture of the car belonging to the mayor of Big Pine Key all loaded up with his possessions and leaving after voter fraud and embezzlement from the beer fund was discovered.  We could tolerate him screwing the voters, but don't dare mess with the beer! 

Reminds you of the Beverly Hillbillies, doesn't it?

Here's the destination, VIR.  The place is marvelous. Clean and well organized.

Here's what it looks like when we set up camp. 

Resembles a band of gypsies, huh?

As you can see, Big Pine Key is wherever we are.  It's completely portable.
