On a recent trip, San Bernardites Tom (who's also a FOR Director) and Ange Ronayne, were anxious to be one of the first to view Sandy* upclose and personal while on a suba-diving trip to the southernmost point in the continental US. Tom notes they were closer to Cuba than Walmart.

 

The Southernmost point was originally just marked with a sign, which was often stolen. In response to this, the city of Key West erected the now famous concrete buoy in 1983. The concrete buoy is actually an old sewer junction that was dug up in the area and found too heavy and large to move, so it was painted up to look like a buoy. Today it is one of the most visited and photographed attractions in Key West.
