You might remember Spook Hill, where cars seem to defy the laws of gravity. Well here is another Gravity Hill!

If you turn on the terrain and rotate the view, you can see how the illusion of the road grade seems to go up but is actually sort of going downward.

"A "GH" spray-painted on the road tells you when you've found the spot where you can stop your car, shift it into neutral, then sit in amazement as it seems to slowly begin to roll uphill." (source " What You Need To Know About")



You can retrace the route to the exact spot in EV by following the directions here.

Can anyone name the movie which had scenes filmed here?

--------------------
The Schutzstaffel (German for "Protective Squadron"), abbreviated SS, grew from a small paramilitary unit to an elite force that served as the Führer's "Praetorian Guard," the Nazi Party's "Shield Squadron" and a force with as much political influence as the regular German armed forces. Built upon the Nazi racial ideology, the SS, under Heinrich Himmler's command, was primarily responsible for the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Nazis during the Second World War.

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." Barack Obama - 10/30/2008
