Gravity Hill adventures
by Cathy Grafton on 11/04/11Last week some members of my yoga group and I traveled to Mineral Point, WI for a few days of fun and adventure. Along the way we stopped in Shullsberg to visit the cheese factory and buy some cheese (the first of many cheese adventures). There we found info. on a "Gravity Hill" just outside of town. Of course we had to visit it. You literally drive down a hill along a country road -- then stop the car -- put it in neutral and roll back up the hill. I've always wanted to visit one, and this was an amazing experience. We are told it is an optical illusion, but all your senses tell you otherwise. Good for the soul to have reality questioned in such a fashion.
After this adventure, we headed up the road to Mineral Point, had a lovely couple of days visiting shops, galleries, historic sites, Cornish cottages and eating lots of good food. Time to relax together in a restored brick home built into the hill side.
For me it was an annual dose of "rocky outcroppings" and hills that helps me to remember that the world is indeed not flat.
