Dry Tortugas National Park

I'm still catching up on my Key West photos. I'm surprised that it took me so long to get these up since it involves flying. Unfortunately, I wasn't doing the flying, but I did get to sit in the copilot seat. While in Key West, we took Key West Seaplanes out to the Dry Tortugas National Park. It's about 70 miles west of Key West in the middle of nowhere. The Dry Tortugas are actually composed about a bunch of little islands, but the biggest development is the 1800s era Fort Jefferson. These are some neat pics of the trip out there. The seaplane never goes above 500' AGL so you get a really nice view of the water including the sea life.
