JustSpeedRacing: Florida Key West 7 Mile Bridge & Smoky Mountain

Florida Key West 7 Mile Bridge & Smoky Mountain

During my final thanksgiving at Purdue, Shoko (my lovely girlfriend), Min and I

decided to go to Florida Key West for a drive!

Yeah.. almost a 3000 mile drive give or take couple hundred.

Driving there was not so bad... a little noisy perhaps due to my exhaust being too loud

and in the beginning the endless famous corn field view didn't help with

falling asleep in the driving seat.

DAY 1

Not my picture but you get the point lol.. I feel like this all the time in Indiana

Our first stop was at a restaurant in Tennessee called Loveless Cafe.

They had one of the best American Home-cooked meal.

Their fried chicken and pulled pork was excellent!

However, the best was Banana Pudding Dessert! Definitely a MUST!

After stuffing ourselves with some good home cooking, we continued our way towards Florida.

In our first day, we travelled 839.9km and took a break at Chattanooga.

Day 1 - West Lafayette to Chattanooga

DAY 2

Now it was time to reach our destination! Florida Key West!

We travelled 1267.7 km from Chattanooga to Florida Key West..

I almost broke my back doing so... don't get me wrong, those Recaro seats are comfortable but

traveling over 1000km puts a lot of stress on your back..

We drove close to the start of 7 Mile Long Bridge and this is the layout from Trip Journal

Day 2 - Chattanooga to Miami

DAY 3

All the back breaking driving down to Miami was paid off when we went off to drive the

7 Mile Long Bridge in Key West.

Here is a little video of what my girlfriend took while we were driving across the bridge.

Hope you enjoy.

Having the ocean right next to you while you are driving is one of the BEST feeling!!

Speed Limit is 55mph all the way to Key West but my adrenaline was forcing me to push my Evo X.

In the end... I overtook couple cars and was satisfied.

While traveling the awesome scenery we stopped at Seafood Buffet at Whale Harbor.
During dinner time you can eat all you can eat Alaskan Crab Legs and shrimps.
However, comparing the price ($30 per person) with the quality of the food, I was not satisfied at all
due to the poor selection of sushi and the size of the alaskan crab legs...
they had barely no meat in them at all...
