ORIGINAL: sappatoti Ghita, that's because you keep digging those artifacts up, and the those that owned them are paying you back for that. ;) I've never been to Spook Hill... one of these days I'll get there and test out a couple of theories on my own. I can't say anything about living in the dreary monotony of Florida, because I live 176 feet above sea level. Fifty yards down the road, that house is 125 feet above sea level. The house behind me is 201 feet above sea level. In ten minutes, I can be standing on the state's second highest point at 302 feet above sea level. It's definitely not flat here. Not mountainous by any stretch, but definitely not flat. It's as close as I'm going to get to being in a place I call "home" here in Florida, outside of living around Appalachicola (where the state's highest peak is near). Sappa, Just where the heck do you live then?? I thought the only "hill" here was on the turnpike about 100 miles south of Orlando... I live to the west of Orlando... Clermont area of Lake County. When you take the turnpike north of the SR 50 "Winter Garden/Clermont" exit, you drive on the highest point of the turnpike. Some of the one-lane county gravel roads that weave up and down the hills just to the east of the turnpike are very similar to foothills of upstate New York's Tug Hill Plateau region. Like I stated, it's certainly not mountainous by any stretch (even though the USGS officially calls Sugarloaf Mountain at 302' an actual mountain), but it can be considered rugged. There's even one or two small rock faces deep in the back country.
