Ted's family has a home a little bit north-east of Cedar Key on the Sewanee River.
It was built back when the Cummer family was logging Cypress in the area. We are blessed to have in the family, a spot on one of the last untouched areas in Florida. The area surrounding the house was donated to the wildlife refuge, I believe in the 70's, so when you walk out on the dock it's beautiful old florida wilderness af far as the eye can see.
The house was a favorite fishing spot for Ted's grandfather and many friends, it is a little rustic for today's standards, but perfect for a wonderful family weekend.
During the summer months you can't come out here without seeing alligators, manatee, wild turkey, wild boar, and Ted's even seen bear.

We did LOTS of exploring and spent a few hours on Saturday in Cedar Key for Lunch, and Ice Cream.
Kirb and Dad did some hiking while Roe-roe took his nap.
Isn't this beautiful, this little house was where the cooks lived "back in the day". Now it's more of a storage space for the caretaker of the property.
Ted's grandad would have this house-boat pushed out into the gulf and fish for a few days with friends. Later he had it put up on stilts. Ted says when he was little and his family would come out there, this is where all the cousins would stay. It's a little shakey now but i was able to go up and explore in it a couple of times when we came down from Gainesville, a few years back.
