The wording is pretty simple and you'd think it would be easy enough to understand but this sign gets plenty of noisy criticism the pages of the Citizen's Voice.
Obviously it's a sign that comes into play in those areas of Highway One that split into four lanes, two in each direction. This is just south of Big Coppitt. 
And away stretch the four lanes across the light industrial suburb of Rockland Key, leading away to Boca Chica and ultimately Key West.
And that's the hump of the exit to the Naval Air Station on Boca Chica.
With the intrepid cyclist pushing on toward Key West:
These signs are everywhere along this stretch of Highway One and are largely ignored.
Traffic joins the highway just like any major freeway intersection on the mainland. And it requires traffic to merge from the right which is another complication for people with lane change phobias...
The thing about "slower traffic keep right" is that the wording doesn't say anything about speed limits or having private citizens enforce traffic laws. Some people like to sit in the passing lane and block people going faster than them which is a superb recipe for road rage. One gets to start envying the able cyclist pedaling along smoothly out of the traffic flow:
I spent a fair bit of time hanging out on the shoulder taking pictures: 
Not everyone gets the concept of staying on the right until you need to pass:
I get bored with clusters of cars piled up behind someone passing at one mile per hour faster than the vehicles being passed:
The bridge over Boca Chica Channel into Stock Island has some nice views over the water but it also has unmistakable instructions about keeping right, not that many people pay attention:
And even into the area were they are laying out the new sewer lines on Stock Island we see the same message repeated. 
Funnily enough what works for me is when the slowpokes are ambling along in the passing lane they open up the right lane for passing. I learned years ago in traffic school that 70% of tickets are issued to vehicles in the number one lane (the one nearest the median). I don't know if it still holds true, but I ride like it does. With cars trundling along in the fast lane I get to stay out of sight I hope.
By the time I got to Stock Island, taking pictures as I went, the intrepid cyclist was already there.
Right lane all the way, from Mile Marker 9 to Stock Island:
And here too the signs request that slower traffic....keep right, but It doesn't happen much. At this stage I figure i might as well sit in the right lane and take my time getting to North Roosevelt Boulevard,the main business route into the city:
You've got to figure the Florida Department of Transportation believes in this concept:
And in a state that has a law that says if you drive up to five miles per hour over the limit you can't get anything more than a written warning, you could be surprised by the seriousness with which they take the keep right rule:
As far as I'm concerned by all means trundle along in the left lane, all the more room for me where I am harder to spot...
Of ducks there were quite a few luxuriating in the thick grass around the course:
The inevitable rooster, one of Key West's free range birds that tourists love to photograph. 
And iguanas, the vegetarians that eat vegetation with a rapacity that equals that of the most brutal lawn mower.
Iguanas are skittish creatures, always on the look out and ready to scamper off if they even think they sense the possibility of danger.
They do get run over from time to time but there are far too many of them to let natural roadway selection cull the herd. Then there is this Florida native and I can't remember if it's an isis, osiris or a member of the heron family, or even an ibis. I am not a naturalist by inclination.
They carry out the same insect eating functions as chickens but they do it with a silent delicacy and grace that chickens can only dream about. And here are more mallard ducks, ducks that don't quack bless them, strutting through the grass by Highway One.
Here is another shot of the bike path paralleling more or less, the Overseas Highway through Stock Island.
Which is home to other forms of wildlife:
Who needs changes of season and yellowing leaves when you have all this greenery and sunshine.
My wife got the hair dryer on it and I peeled with my finger tips and a knife blade and eventually we got almost all of it off. Had someone from Earthbox been on my deck at the time they would have been lucky to have escaped with their scalp. Then I stuck the casters on the bottom so we can roll the planter around at will, and very nicely they work too, especially as tow of them have brakes to prevent ruanways...
We bought the planters from the helpful people around Mile Marker 100 in Key Largo, known as Holiday RV's (305 451-4555) and at around $65 a pop for the organic models we were glad to see they came with all necessary stuff, as we shall see, for a season's planting.
It seems the plants water themselves thanks to some form of osmosis where the piles of dirt in the corners stay moist in the water reservoir and wick the water up to the roots:
All the gardener has to do is keep the reservoir filled using the black tube wedged into one corner. And to start the process fill the bottom of the box with about one and a half watering cans to get the water to flow out of the overflow hole...
It's really no hard to assemble the Earth Box as long as you have a couple of gallons of water and one and a half large bags of potting mix (not, for some reason, potting soil). Don't ask me, I just do as I'm told. And there are easy to follow instructions on line at 
With the screen in place and soil in the corners and all nice and wet we simply piled dirt on top of the screen not minding if some fell through into the water below.
And then there is a little white packet to open with something called dolomite which gets spread around like snowflakes:
It's all part of the Earthbox package and we spread it around, my wife and I before mixing some more dirt on top and moistening it down.
Here's the other trick part of the Earthbox, not only does it water itself, it also weeds itself. It comes with a plastic cover, white side out for hot climates, summer in Florida or Arizona, say, or black side out for cooler climates. With the cover in place and some dastardly difficult holes to cut for the plants to stick out you have one completed Earthbox planter:
Earthbox recommends 6 to 8 hours of sun a day, but I am going to keep the box partly shaded to start with as the sun is hot but so far we seem to have lift off. 
Here is the completed box en route to it's alloted, partially shaded corner. and not one picture of a Triumph Bonneville included.
