Back on the water

We will spend a few days in the little town of Cedar Key. This historic town is a step back in time when the town was a key transportation hub connecting the Gulf Coast with Atlantic Coast via the first cross-Florida railroad. However the bustling fishing and lumber port declined as the natural resources were depleted followed by a hurricane around the turn of the century. The little town re-invented itself with the production of clams and the harvest of oysters, shrimp and crabs, and without out question, tourism.Sadly it is having a difficult time as most of the area on the Gulf Coast even though the oil came no where near here.
