I placed this cache to bring you to a gravity hill located in Devore.
To get to the location of Devore's Gravity Hill take Interstate 15 North and exit at Glen Helen Parkway. Turn right at bottom of offramp and continue north past Glen Helen Park and cross over the railroad tracks. After crossing the railroad tracks you will be going down hill and approaching a Stop sign. Between the tracks and the Stop sign you will see a chain link fence on the righthand side. Stop at the north end of the fence and put your car in neutral and remove your foot from the brake.
Be sure to check for traffic behind you before you do this!
Please put in your logs what you experienced.
Wikipedia defines: a gravity hill, also known as a magnetic hill (and sometimes a mystery hill or a gravity road), is a place where the layout of the surrounding land produces the optical illusion that a very slight downhill slope appears to be an uphill slope. Thus, a car left out of gear will appear to be rolling uphill. There are hundreds of gravity hill locations around the world.
Explanation
The slope of gravity hills is an optical illusion, although tour guides may claim natural or even supernatural forces are at work. The most important factor contributing to the illusion is a completely or mostly obstructed horizon; without a horizon, judging the slope of a surface is difficult as a reliable reference is missing. Objects one would normally assume to be more-or-less perpendicular to the ground (such as trees) may actually be leaning, offsetting the visual reference. The illusion is similar to the well-known Ames room, in which balls can also appear to roll against gravity.
