Stranger hillside shifts near Brighton Hill intrigues locals
Don Guy reports his land a mile north of town shows slow but steady earth movement. Cracks appeared three years ago and widened to 50 feet with a 10 foot drop as the hill slides toward a creek bed. The long, two–sided fissure runs over 100 yards, reshaping soil, grass, and even a pair of trees now 70 feet apart. The cause is blamed on rock-core shifts and three wet years, with cattle grazing undisturbed on the shifting pasture.
