3-1-16: Arrived at Cedar Key, Florida. It was a 6 hour drive from Orange Beach, AL.
and a nice drive. We met up with our
friends Brad and Janine Bachelor (Michiganites) just north of Pensacola and
traveled the rest of the way with them.
Brad and Janine were here at Cedar Key last year and when they said they
were coming back here Roberta and I kind of invited ourselves to come
along. We arrived just in time to get
set up and watch the sunset. Beautiful
evening. We walked a mile to town this
afternoon and got to see the beach and many small little shops. Bruce and Brad have tried fishing, but no luck so far. There are many little eateries and bars in town. Lots of live music places to spend an evening. We took a tour of a clam farm the other day. It takes nearly 2 years to raise a clam from a grain of sand size baby clam to a full grown 2" clam. There are clam farms all around Cedar Key. Cedar Key is called the clamming capitol of the U.S.

| Cemetery on Atsena Otie Key. Last populated in 1906. Hurricane tidal surge wiped out everything on the island. Island never was rebuilt. |
 |
| A very creepy cemetery at night. No we didn't stay for night fall. |
That cemetery is very cool. I like dad with the long hair also.
