FUN-FILLED TRIANGLE Sidetrips can be a time for fu., but also a time of bewilderment -- expecially if motorists travel to Magnetie Hill, an off - beat incline ioeated about 80 miles west of Ottawa. Whether you're travelling b>' car, b>' truck, or even b>' motorcycle, you'll have to sec and feel for yourseif. the ecrie experience of having your vehicle eoast uphiIli without the benefiît of a mnotor. tow rope or even a push. B>' taking a whole day for this trip, visitons eau also include in their drive a tour of Bounechere Caves and of Storyland -- two attractions that along with Maguetie Hill, form a triangle of fun in the hcart of Rcufrcw Couty. Visitors eau reach Magnetie Hill b>' travelling west of Ottawa on the Trans - Canada Highway to the towu of Renfrew. From here. drive south onto Highway 132 which wili iead to the bilh, near the towu of Dacre, Ontario. Athough the phenomienon of Magnetie Hill is diffieult to explain, it is easy to experience.

What wiii happen is that your vehiele wilI start tc. coast baekward uphili - slowly 'at first, but gaining speed to about 15 mph. Que expianatioti for this natunal phenomelloi is that It is au opticai illusion. Motorists think the>' are coasting uphilI, but actuali>' the>' are at the top of the hihl and anc rolling down. it is the structure of the surrouuding land that makes the shope appear to be going the opposite direction. Ncvetheiess, the illusion is so stnong, that even ater several trips up this incline and aftcr carefolly' studying the road, you wili probabl>' swcar that you were coasting uphili. The discover>' of this 'magnetie' attraction came by accident some 30 years ago. A mani who was hunting for birds stopped bis car at the bottomi of the hilîl and got out.
