If you want to test out a real gravity hill in California's wine country, here's the road less traveled. (Google Map Photo)ROHNERT PARK, CA — In the wilderness of Sonoma County, in the hills between Rohnert Park and Penngrove, a lonely stretch of road seems to defy gravity. Locals say that a car, when placed in neutral at the foot of the uphill grade, will gradually roll up that hill. That's right. Up the hill. Impossible? Maybe. Whether you believe the area to be a paranormal place that flies in the face of physics or choose to focus on scientific explanations for the 'gravity-defying' hillside, it's still a must-do for Rohnert Park locals.
