Spook Hill















On the left is another reason I missed the WIXYcam. The other pic is a previous version of the sign taken from this article at roadsideamerica.com.

Spook hill is located in Lake Wales, Florida, on a road that goes along side of Spook Hill Elementary School. You drive your car down to the bottom of the hill, and stop at the white line. Next you put your car in neutral and take your foot off the brake. The car will proceed to coast UPHILL. Quite neat and you can't explain this.

If you are ever in historic downtown Lake Wales, follow the signs and you can find Spook Hill.

Next: From MCO to CAK. All good things must come to an end.

That sounds so cool. If I ever get to Florida I may have to check that out. Sindi has told me so much you that I finally got around to checking out your page. It's awesome.

I have heard of spook hill before. There was a show on tv about a year ago that talked about strange places to visit and Spook Hill was one of them. I like to learn about creepy stuff like that so I watch it on tv or read about it in books. I would love to have gone there though, totally cool! :>

LOL! I used to live in Florida back in the 60s and my parents [or maybe it was my grandpa] took all us kids to this spot when we were visiting our grandma. It was sorta freaky but I was more interested in getting some ice cream.

I'm sure some day we will find out the mystery, but for now I don't think it's freaky, spooky, or creepy. I think it's cool.

How interesting ... almost like invisible hands pushing you uphill. I tell you this Cliff, I have really enjoyed my visit here today --- I would love to know the why of this, but there are some blessing where it is better to enjoy, or one might lose the privilege.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?
