Sugarloaf Key has a large subdivision off Sugarloaf Boulevard, south of Sugarloaf Lodge, lots of palm trees, a wide sidewalk and homes on expansive lots. Just what Cheyenne likes to explore.
We were on Green Turtle half way down the boulevard checking out whatever there might be to see. Not as much as some people apparently who are not satisfied with just one satellite dish.
I never cease to be amazed by the complexity of television technology that manages to produce so much crap for broadcast. Cheyenne prefers the great outdoors.
A glimpse of saltwater there in the far distance under the tree:
You're never far from tidal waters in the Keys which makes the prospect of oil in the water very interesting. We do produce a great of trash, as a society and it's not all in the water.
With some natural beauty to make up for it.
Ocean glimpse anyone? Perhaps Rapunzel lives up there.
Scenes from Sugarloaf Key.
This is Sugarloaf Boulevard looking towards Highway One.
Looking south, and it's worth remembering the speed limit here is 30mph. It's a long straight wide road too which makes it hard to go so slowly but this is a heavily walked area, especially in winter.
Green Turtle Lane crosses the boulevard for another block.
A suitable mail box for the street.
These lots are larger than usual in the Lower Keys and much more wooded than you might expect.
And at the other end of the street another salt water glimpse.
Not all the homes are of modest proportions.
I liked the modest proportions of the mailbox by contrast.
To me these suburban homes represent the best of Florida Keys life these days, quiet neighborhoods, easy access to the water and lots of greenery. I would rather not have to trade my suburban home for a life in the crowded confines of Old Town Key West. I think it is hard for newcomers to the Keys to figure there is anywhere worth living quite so much as Key West itself.
The pity of suburban living is the dependence on infernal combustion.

I find it surprising that folks still purchase the satellite dishes. I've never had any luck with them in Florida. They worked great when I lived in NC.
I read nothing but complaints about Comcast cable in the paper. I rely on Netflix.
