- Leesburg Main Street Carnival - Oct. 27, 2007
I found myself on Interstate 75 near Leesburg, in Lake County, where the Ridge begins. The Ridge is the Florida Divide, the peninsular watershed, and, to hear Floridians describe it, the world's most stupendous mountain range after the Himalayas and the Andes.
