We exited the car when along came a red pickup truck and he stopped and put his truck into neutral and started coasting up/down the hill. He then turned around a little down the road and returned again doing the same thing. When he reached us, with a big grin he said, "Hey guys, it works". He has lived in the area for quite awhile and always heard about this gravity hill and thought he would try it out.

Inspired we gave it a try, and though slow we did coast along the road.

Wikipedia list this Vernon Gravity Hill of their website: (visit link)

A gravity or magnetic hill is a place where a slight downhill slope appears to be an uphill slope due to the layout of the surrounding land, creating the optical illusion that water flows uphill or a car left out of gear will roll uphill, among others. Many of these sites have no specific name and are often called just "Gravity Hill", "Magnetic Hill", "Magic Road" or something similar.
