Dry Tortugas, at the red dot
Dry Tortugas is around 70 miles, loosely west and a little south, of Key West. The only way there is by boat or plane, so is of the remotest national parks, in the Lower 48. If you fly there, it is of small note that Dry Tortugas is in a different time zone, so the joke is that you land fifteen minutes before you take off. We took a ferry.
Of note, the park is 99% underwater. The only key we hit was Garden Key, home of Fort Jefferson.

Not a good photo, of the Yankee Freedom, how we got there, and back. Taken after returning, and didn’t have time, to frame a nice photo.
