Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today, life is good today!!!!!!
That's some of the Lyrics from "TOES" the Zac Brown Band. He must of wrote that song here because it is so True! This place is SO laid back we may come back here to live. Great People, Great seafood, Great Views!
Geni and I have been in Cedar Key for almost a month now and we have been busy hiking a few trails, visited a 1853 lighthouse that is only open to the public 4 times a year, joined the local Eagles club, entertained a good friend from Ohio, ate some awesome seafood and just kind of decompressed from our camp hosting position in Crooked River State park.

One outstanding hike we have taken here was the "SHELL MOUND HIKE"

A Thousand years before Spain arrived, Florida was occupied by many Native American tribes. Fish and Game was abundant and the climate was mild, and so was the oysters! The Native Americans would eat the Oysters and then pile then in a mound after. This mound took hundreds of years to complete and has over one BILLION SHELLS!

ReplyDeleteHi Jon, The sooner the better my friend! If you are coming down to Florida this Summer you must stop here!

So happy you are enjoying Cedar Key life! We hiked the 'Shell Mound Trail', too. There is no end to great seafood in Cedar Key! We have often said that if and when we settle down again it would have to be Cedar Key.
ReplyDeleteHi Clark, Geni and I just love it! I agree, its such a beautiful place so laid back! You did say this is your favorite place in the World, I can see why! Thanks for turning us on to it!
