Cedar Key, Florida
We rode to Cedar Key, FL to see Ralph and Joan, and because all the locals said Cedar Key is marvelous and you must go! It was a hour and a half ride much of it a near causeway condition much like the road to Chincoteague. Not as much water but reserve land just the same. There are no chain stores in Cedar Key, it has the same quaint island feel of home.
We found Ralph at home, Joan was doing community work in Gainesville that day.
Ralph gave us the VIP tour of Cedar Key in his electric car.
We stopped at the Cedar Key Airfield.
We rode downtown and Ralph treated us to a fine lunch over-looking the surrounding bays.
Cedar Key History Museum - one of the island many industries was salt production for food preservation prior to refrigeration. The locals used these large iron pots to boil seawater and extract the sea salt. Here it is a wishing well full of coins!
We rode back to Dixieland the same day after a great day visiting with our longtime pal Ralph. Between Cedar Key and Chincoteague we would say it is hard to do better.
