[pct-l] RE: Gravity

[stewjohns at comcast.net (stewjohns@comcast.net)]

Can you give me a location where you know for a fact that a car will roll uphill?  I would like to see that myself.  I would also like to take a gps altitude reading of the area to prove if indeed it is a hill going up?  I know that gravity is not uniform across the globe, and there are small and high anomilies, but this car rolling uphill goes against everything I have ever read about gravity.  Doing a web search on the topic states that it is not true.  Please provide a location that such a thing can occure.

The unveiling of the PCT stamp is scheduled for May 27, 2006.  I figure the
class of 06 can all celebrate at Hiker Heaven.
