Confusion Hill


Campbell Bros. Confusion Hill is the true tourist start of California's Redwood Country, that is, if you are headed north. They will not level with you about what's confusing you. Fellow travelers on the Mystery Train may be of some help, but that is doubtful. The problem is to differentiate between what looks confusing but isn't and what really is genuinely mysteriously confusing. To help you sort it out the Campbell Bros. have provided a Shoe House, which will make you think confusion is not so big after all, and a Gravity House, which is sure to make you think wherever confusion is it is downhill from there. The place is very nicely decorated with American flags, carved bears, totem poles, manikin loggers, and pots of flowers. (Almost everyone on California's North Coast has pots of something.) After you have given up, Doug's Dog House is a good place to get some ice cream, although pets are not let in on the inner sanctum.
