Have you ever wondered what the area currently occupied by The Villages looked like in years past? Well, I did. So I went exploring via Google Earth. It was a very interesting exercise. I am sure a lot of you are already familiar with the availability of this info but I have found many people are not. I have been using Google Earth for years but the availability to look back in time is a feature that I recently "discovered".

Navigating Google Earth can be a bit of a challenge so please feel free to PM me if you need a few tips.
