This needs to be re-checked. Ryoung 122 21:00, 26 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Iron Mountain is not 325. According to USGS 7.5' Topo Quads (view at Topoquest), highest point is 295 feet.  GNIS lists Iron Mountain at 289 feet, based on 1979 entry.  Nasa's SRTM data also shows nothing greater than the 290s around Iron Mountain.  I would trust the government sources over the Orlando Sentinel, seeing as the paper already made the mistake of listing Sugarloaf Mountain over 1000 feet... Sentinel's editor's need to work on their fact finding.  Lithium6ion (talk) 01:12, 27 July 2012 (UTC)


 * in addition Ryoung, the article you link to is a letter to the editor, not an article of the Sentinel itself. So some John Doe after seeing a column claiming sugarloaf mountain was > 1,000 corrected the columnist with innacurate information. --TimL (talk) 06:20, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
