September 2016
Our next stop took us to Pennsylvania. We’d never been to
PA before.
We passed the Punxsutawney exit on our way there. I didn’t
see any groundhogs and as far as I know the day didn’t start all over again.
Maybe we should have taken the exit.
We stayed at Mirror Lake RV Park in New Florence.
PA is a pretty big
state. I don’t know what the rest of it is like but this part of it is beautiful!
The park had decent wifi so I looked up what
to do in the area and found out
we weren’t very far from Shanksville, PA.
It was a solemn visit. The day was a beautiful
September afternoon. The sky was especially blue.
September 11, 2001 was a
beautiful Summer morning until…
The walkway is a timeline of events that day.
The people who lived there then and saw the explosion live there still.
There was a group of school kids there.
They were pretty young. Some of them just seemed happy to be on a field trip.
Some seemed deeply affected by it.
It was a day like that day!
The wall of names.
The large rock out there is the actual crash site. Only family members are allowed out there.
It was a very emotional experience to go there but I'm very glad we did.
