A real gravity-hill optical illusion wrapped in old legend
Roll to the white line at the bottom of this hill, put the car in neutral, and it appears to drift backward UP the slope. The pioneers blamed a giant gator; the Seminole told of a chief and the beast that fought here. It is a gravity hill, the horizon tricking the eye, and knowing that does not spoil it a bit. A real and free roadside wonder in Lake Wales.
