Sorry but there are plenty of areas of Florida with rolling hills. Not everything is flat.

And central FL, especially the Ocala area, is known for those rolling hills.

:clap2:

Hope your bride didn't partake and drove you home.

Not much showing on a 1979 aeronautical chart or the 1939 chart

Captain Hugo, the OP, has posted twice and sailed off into the sunset.


We are all still here, reading this thread and many of us are enjoying the pretty views around Lake Sumter. I don't know what the ocean going vessels would do without the lighthouse.


I love the whimsy, the careful planning of vistas that please my eye and sometimes get captured on my canvases. I love just about everything about this place.

Or like his counterpart Captain Nemo he may have submerged under Lake Sumter never to return again.

Under Lake Sumter may be a UFO base for all we know.

It could be a legend but I was told that The Villages Developer orginally attempted to connect Lake Minoa, Black Lake and what is now called Lake Sumter but couldn't get permits to do so. Why he couldn't get a permit I guess was environmental.

There would be considerable water run off from Sumter Landing so "accommodations" for this water run off had to be made. What was done is really very nice IMHO.
