TwYacht,  is that Markham?  I've never shot there, I usually go to Arizona in North Lauderdale and shoot indoors.  I do plan on going this winter and shoot some Clays, or try to anyway.
JayBethel,  I'm old enough to know Jackson Mountain as Harveys  ;D  It was across from the Savoy.  Remember the Army Men in the window, the penny candy, and the 5 cent used comic books?

Oh, by the way, we have a mountain down here, they call it "Mt. Pompano".  Several hundred feet high if I'm not mistaken.

Lakewood Park in Britton Hill, Fla. 345 ft above sea level.



There it is.  The highest point in the state of Florida.  The location is marked with a granite marker (practically a tombstone), and surrounded by a few picnic tables and restroom.

It is the lowest high point in the US.

Highest mountain in Florida? Sugarloaf, at 312 ft

Hello Jkwas, yes the pics are of Markham Park. It has a HUGE skeet/trap/clay range of its own, next to the rifle/pistol bldg.

I may have to explore the clay flingy thingy too. I wonder if my Rem. 870 would work.,.... ;D

Fatman,

I don't understand.  First you say the highest point is 345 then you say the highest mountain is 312??

*Shrug* Britton Hill must be on a plateau. Or maybe at the top of a  looooong slope. It's just not classified as a mountain.

As a flat-lander here in Michigan I'm sitting at an elevation of 751 feet according to Wikipedia. That's a lot lower than the mean elevation of 902 feet for the state. I guess that makes me a low-lander too, but I'm still more than twice as high as the highest mountain in Florida. No wonder there are so many swamps down there. The water probably runs downhill from other states.  :)

The Porcupine Mountains are 1,958 feet and the Huron Mountains are 1,979 feet above sea level, which is the highest point in the state of Michigan. The lowest place in the state is Lake Erie at 571 ft, so the lowest point in the state is still higher than the hghest point in Florida. I never knew that and accidentally learned something today.  ;D

Haz... the BAR is called Jackson Mountain. I go there when we flood.
I live in a place called Frog Hollow. You can imaging what that means.
When my wife was about to deliver my second daughter we got hit with a suprise surge from a noreaster. The coast guard took us out of my house in a zodiak boat to a high ground hotel. As it goes, she didn't deliver for another week.

Now we have big pumps and we only flood when the ocean comes over the seawall. There's nothing like fried weakfish caught off your front porch.

Florida makes the beautiful Flint Hills of Kansas look like mountains. :o

Of course those of us in flyover country don't look at it that way, except when the ice falls and then that driveway might as well be a mountain!
