G: Radar lives in an upscale trailer park in Inglis, Florida; about ten miles
from here. But don't call him Radar; he'll tell you his name is Gary if you do.
"Fueled by Northern retirees, Citrus County's population soared from 9,268
in 1960 to more than 132,600 in 2005. But the area known locally as Red Level -
so named after dust from dolomite mines blew over the area and stained roads
and trees red - remained largely untouched.
One exception was the Nature Coast Landings RV Resort, just north of Red Level
and east of U.S. 19.
Its most famous resident is Gary Burghoff, who played Radar O'Reilly on the hit
TV show M*A*S*H. He moved to the 239-unit park in 2004 "because things got too
congested and hectic" elsewhere.
"This area will be the last to go, if it has to go," the 63-year-old actor
said.snip
