I used to go to places in that scrub,that were magically beautiful,now there is a 4 lane highway and resorts all through there.the white sand and scrub is gone forever
Very interesting. Me and my kids drove to Sugarloaf Mountain near Clermont. Being from Florida and never seeing any real elevation we thought it was so cool, even though it was only 250 or 300’ above sea level.
I live in Clermont/minneola/montverde area where the ridge is the highest and it’s beautiful here. Very hilly here something you don’t see in Florida. I’m a car guy and like to drive and somehow got lucky with where I grew up Because we have the best scenic drives in Florida!! Besides some places in north Florida, Sugarloaf Mountain is the tallest point at 312 ft. U can find more info about it on its wiki but there’s a few places that get pretty steep and tall out here. They underplay how steep the hills are, 312 feet might might not seem that tall but they’re basically giant sand dunes like the gentleman explains in the video so they’re pretty steep and hard to traverse. Unfortunately there’s a lot of developments going on and they’re destroying the land bad now. Tons of traffic , lots of housing, cutting down forests, filling in swamps, and clean cutting the tops off of hills for development. But can’t do much about that. Lots of cool parks and information about this area!! Ask me if u have questions !!
You can do something about the urban sprawl be a voice and let the politicians know how you feel we recently stopped the state from trying to extend the turnpike through our county..urban sprawl is bad for humans and wildlife
Where can you go to see white sand that’s not on private property? I have wandered around sugarloaf mountain by car and couldn’t find a single place where I could actually find white sand. I have tried using google earth to find patches but haven’t had any luck
The sands that survived the sea, going under the plow, and the bulldozer, taking their secrets away from a deranged humanity, that sees value in Nature only when it is vanquished.

So many beautiful natural areas there have been erased
I guess evolution failed again!

Check out “Old World Florida” channel if you haven’t already..you would definitely appreciate the multitude of research compiled there.

You should come visit us here in Tallahassee. Lots of hills.
This would be a great video if there weren't ads every ten seconds.
I heard about this place in 1998.
