Confusion hill @ Leggett, California

Confusion Hill is a another roadside attraction in Piercy, California 15 minutes drive from Chandelier tree ( https://sk-digilance.blogspot.com/2021/05/chandelier-tree-leggett-california.html ) . Confusion Hill (similar to Santa Cruz's Mystery Spot) is a home of mystery and Gravity. There is a small train ride, a quick thing, kind of cute and you go all the way up the small hill and then just ride backward down just to feel the weird magnetic pull. Not a major destination attraction but worth a stop in my opinion for those who have younger kids as it has a World's tallest freestanding redwood carving as mentioned in Ripley's Believe It or Not! My son loved it of course because of his love for trains. We did hangout near small playground and enjoy the shade watching squirrels. Ps: The gift shop/ snack bar is typical but has nice things available. Visit their website for further details like

Chandelier Tree, Leggett, California

This article is part of the same trip we visited Fort Bragg @ Mendocino in California.  Here is the link to this article -  https://sk-digilance.blogspot.com/2021/05/fort-bragg-mendocino-california.html Next day (in the same trip above), we visited Chandelier tree, a Drive-Thru Tree @ Leggett in California and Its around 1 hour far from Fort Bragg, if you drive non-stop . I know I know, I said Drive-Thru Tree because it has a 6' wide X 6' 9" high hole cut through its base to allow cars to drive through. The height of the tree is 315ft and 21ft diameter and age of the tree is estimated around 2400 yrs ago. As per my opinion, there is nothing much to this place except a Drive-Thru Tree and you will definitely find picnic tables, rest rooms and a gift shop with plenty of parking space. There is a wide open and serene meadow nearby to walk around.   I think we bought entrance tickets for driving thru the tree either $5 or $10, not sure, but
