Vinegar Hill, upon which Mt. Pulaski sits, ain't nothing but a pile of dirt and sand to most people. Elkhart hill is a wee bit bigger. When my niece and her husband visited, they arrived very early morning and it was still dark. He said that he was positive that he drove past one single cornfield in the dark that was at least 7 miles long. He had never seen such flat ground. :lol:

If it has ski runs that makes it higher than Mt. Dora in Florida. Mt Dora is the highest point in Florida and home of one of the largest fleamarkets/antique markets, and you can climb it with a walker, unless you also have emphysema.

My dad grew up in the Champaign area (Ashmore & Charleston specifically) and I know how flat Illinois is. and the area where i live in SW Ontario is not know for its "hills" either. I read the Mt. Pulaski entry in wikipedia and it mention ski runs and i immediately thought, someone has found a use for their landfill site.

I couldn't find any mention of ski runs. Must be something down by the creek. Lasts all of 30 seconds. :lol:

.....By the time I got back home, my arms felt like dead weights! I have never taken any of my old cars through there since (unless they had power steering :!

My last summer job before I graduated from UGA was driving a bus for a large summer camp north of Asheville. (Camp Sequoyah) At one time or other I drove that bus on most all the roads in western NC and east TN. The bus didn't have power steering nor air conditioning. It was a real pain to navigate some of the roads by backing up and forth to get the bus around some of the turns. I can still remember the kids squealing when the rear end of the bus would be perched over a nice drop off. :bounce:

Must be someone having fun with the Wikipedia entry. You can put whatever you want on wikipedia, it being an open source, and it will stand as long as no one challenges it. Someone did that to the nearest town to us, Chatham, and made it sound like one section was the black hole of Calcutta. The section they referred to has a high % of welfare families and some drug activity, but nothing horrendous, unless you believed that Wikipedia entry.
