We’ve had tons of questions about Cedar Key – from where to stay and what to do. We’re by no means experts, and generally we don’t like writing travel guides – but now that we’ve been here for 3 extended stays over the past 3 years, we’ll do our best to share. First of all, […]
Nomadic Lifestyle
A Convergence versus a Rally
It’s hard to believe we’ve now past the midway point in our 2-month stay in Cedar Key. The time is going by so fast.

Abundance of Nomadic Community
When we booked our site for the winter in Cedar Key, we never imagined the community that would transpire here.

This is an update to our previous healthcare chapter to integrate in the added challenges and benefits of the Affordable Care Act (ACA – […]
Winning the Storage War!
Storage units are like security blankets for baby nomads. So many of us head out on the road with the core bits of our former stationary life crammed into a big “climate controlled” box somewhere, ready and waiting just in case nomadic life doesn’t work out. For others, it is more about punting – putting […]
