?According to the legend, a mother was driving with her young child on Richfield Road when the car stalled. The woman got out to push the vehicle to safety when a truck came along and hit and killed them both. The story says to put baby powder on the hood and you will see hand prints when you get to the top.

As a teenager I visited the hill and experienced it. It worked then. I didn’t try it this time as I was on the motorcycle. Stop at the botom and put your car in neutral and it will be pushed "up" the hill. There are areas to pull off to take pictures.
