The Broward MINI Club (BMC) and the Sunshine MINIs of Florida are having a FUN RUN to the Florida Keys (KEY WEST) on September 6 & 7, 2003. We will be leaving the Snapper Creek rest stop on the Florida Turnpike Saturday the 6th at 8:00am. Then heading down to Key West. About a three hour drive. So come on down and join the caravan. If you want to stay overnight there are lots of hotels in the area and rooms from all price ranges. Check the Key West Link below. So call and book a room on the island and meet us at Sloppy Joes on Duval Street Saturday night !!! Below are a few links to check out.

hmmm...Ill just be getting to Florida then, sounds fun!

 

Wild times ahead.....Don't miss this one.

 

If Im unpacked, and I have directions...Ill be there.

 

Anyone else from the Tampa area south wanna go?

My Mini ought to be done by then and I need to break her in, so I think I'll be best doing a long drive with others, otherwise my foot may get a little too heavy.

Your in Tampa? If you wanna meet up with me and Mully we can caravan down. Ill be in Sarasota.

 

Sweet, I'll keep posting on this thread. I did live in Key Largo, so I will need a quick nostalgia stop. MM100 right down Atlantic Blvd. #190 if memory serves. And I graduated from Coral Shores High School in Islamorada/Tavernier.

 

Cool man, sounds good. Ill see ya soon.

 

I have to see if I can take the time off work...

Keep us posted, I'll pull through St Pete first and go over that silly bridge

 

Ok it's been over 10 years since I have been down there, where is that Snapper Creek place?

 

From what I understand, the Snapper Creek Rest Plaza is the LAST plaza on the turnpike. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Does 75 connect to the turn pike? I imagine I would take 75 south from Sarasota?

 

If you take 75 South, it takes you across the 'glades (east) towards Lauderdale. Outside of Lauderdale, 75 turns into 595. 595 eventually does hit the turnpike. :smile:

 

Is that before or after the Palmetto Expressway?

 

You guys from the west coast take I-75 south across the glades. Then take I-75 south towards Miami. 75 has an exit for the Florida Turnpike south/Homested Extension. This takes you to the Keys. Take that to the Snapper Creek rest stop. Look for the link on the first post above.

 

Yah, the I-75 extension was pretty new when last I made that trip. I'll probably remember it when I see it again.

Mully, how goes the time off thing?

 

Sounds like a BLAST! I'd love to join you all! I've always wanted to drive that highway to the keys!

Take lots of pix!

haf :smile:

That makes sense, shouldnt be too hard.

So I guess this means you WON'T be joining us?

Holly, Yes it is the last "rest-stop" connected to the Florida Turnpike. It's right after the 88th Street/Kendall exit.

 

How far north of Florida City is that?

 

Well kiddies I'll be missing this one as well. I am going to be away until Oct 1 leaving this Tuesday. It's a tough job...but somebody has to do it.
BTW.....miss y'all.

 

From Snapper Creek Plaza to Florida City is (I'm going guess) approx. 30 minutes.

EDIT: more like 15-20 minutes

 

OH MAN, 2minis missing out on another! Bummer...what is this work crap?!?!
