Rolling Bass-Ackward Up Gravity Hill

Roads Less Traveled, pg181
Players: Erin & Mallery




One of my personal favorite attractions in Benzie County, Gravity Hill, provides entertainment and challenges the mind. If you put your car in neutral at the bottom of the hill on Putney Road and remove your foot from the break, your vehicle will begin rolling backwards UP this hill. So is it an optical illusion, or is Blaine Christian Church (which sits at the top of the hill) pulling sinners towards its doors? Local legend suggests the second, but the author of the “Weird Michigan” book is convinced it’s just an optical illusion.

  1. Beth - if you look in the top, left corner of the rear view mirror, you can see part of my head. So I am in a picture for every challenge - you on the other hand, FAIL!
