Re: What Charley taught us


Exactly (the view was wonderful)! Someone described Florida as a "sandbar"! I live within 5 miles of the Mississippi River - and my elevation is 472ft above sea level: no one has ever categorized IL as a "mountain state"!

You were at Bok Tower, Cathy. That's the highest point in the state. Something like 200 feet above sea level.

Higher elevations? As in 28 feet above sea level?? I guess "higher" is extremely relative!

Although some of the trees--the slash pines, for example--are sturdier than most and seem hurricane resistant. But they don't like wet feet or salt spray, so are limited to higher elevations, like the plantation, which is 28 feet above sea level and 5 miles inland.
