Cedar Key

I am sorry I could not see John Spooner before leaving Madison.

Cedar Keys, Florida, November 8, 1867.

I am just creeping about, getting plants and strength after my fever.

I wrote you a long time ago, but retained the letter, hoping to be able soon to tell you where you might write.

The transaction... adds five signals serving communities along Florida's west coast between the Tampa and Gainesville markets.

They include Hot AC, Citrus 95.3 WXCV in Homosassa Springs, Classic hits 96.7 The Fox WXOF in Yankee Town Country Z 103.3 and 104.3 WXCZ and WXZC serving Cedar Key and Inglis and Aldi's Greatest Hits 106.3 WGHR in Spring Hill.

The $2.5 million purchase is structured with a $500,000 deposit... another $500,000 due at closing... and the remaining $1.5 million financed through a promissory note to be paid over 10 years.

There is an additional regulatory issue with this transaction.

Instead of mourning everybody seemed to rejoice for the menace to well-being had been removed.

Twice a year Mary's father and master went to Cedar Keys, Florida to get salt.

Ocean water was obtained and boiled, salt resulting.

They always returned with about three barrels of salt.

That's exactly right.

So we started seeing them in Cedar Key, which is the mouth of the Suwannee River.

So it's about 135 miles north of Tampa.

I'd say about an hour and a half north of Crystal River or so.

And it was a big deal.

I think it was back in about 2012 to 2016 that they started seeing them colonizing.

And so, yeah, we're seeing a really kind of similar phenomenon to what happened in Cedar Key.

And it was really well documented over there.

Mm-hmm.

So we, we bought a microphone, and then we didn't start until a couple months later when we went to Cedar Key, which is a site in Florida, and we saw a bird that we thought was a...

What was it? It was...

I think, I think we thought it was a Zone-tailed hawk.

But it was also a blessing in disguise, inasmuch as it prevented him from carrying out his foolhardy plan of penetrating the tropical jungles of South America, along the Andes, to a tributary of the Amazon, and then floating down the river on a raft to the Atlantic.

As readers of the journal will perceive, he clung to this intention even during his convalescence at Cedar Keys and in Cuba.

In a letter dated the 8th of November, he describes himself as just creeping about, getting plants and strength after my fever.

Then he asks his correspondent to direct letters to New Orleans, Louisiana.

I do not yet know to which point in South America I had better go.

His hope to find there a boat for South America explains an otherwise mystifying letter in which he requested his brother David to send him a certain sum of money by American Express order to New Orleans.

As a matter of fact, he did not go to Louisiana at all, either because he learned that no southbound ship was available at the mouth of the Mississippi, or because the unexpected appearance of the Island Belle in the harbor of Cedar Keys caused him to change his plans.

in later years mr muir himself strongly disparaged the wisdom of his plans with respect to south america as may be seen in the chapter that deals with his cuban sojourn the judgment there expressed was lead pencilled into his journal during a reading of it long afterwards nevertheless the andes and the south american forest continued to fascinate his imagination as his letters show for many years after he came to california when the long-deferred journey to south america was finally made in nineteen eleven forty-four years after the first attempt he whimsically spoke of it as the fulfillment of those youthful dreams that moved him to undertake his thousand-mile walk to the gulf mr muir always recalled with gratitude the florida friends who nursed him through his long and serious illness in eighteen ninety eight while traveling through the south on a forest inspection tour with his friend charles sprague sargent he took occasion to revisit the scenes of his early adventures it may be of interest to quote some sentences from letters written at that time to his wife and to his sister sarah i have been down the east side of the florida peninsula along the indian river he writes through the palm and pine forests to miami and thence to key west and to the southernmost keys stretching out towards cuba returning i crossed over to the west coast by palatka to cedar keys on my old track made thirty-one years ago in search of the hodgsons who nursed me through my long attack of fever Mr. Hodgson died long ago, also the eldest son, with whom I used to go boating among the quays while slowly convalescing.
