270 miles via I-81, US 30, I-70, I-470 (around Wheeling) and I-70 (again). Cumulative route miles: 1,046. Auto miles: 286. Cumulative auto miles: 1,094. We stopped at the Flight 93 Memorial<\/a> near Shanksville PA. The extra miles were from the trip to the Hershey Chocolate World<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was a clear, warm day with relatively little traffic. A lot of it was on US 30 which is a narrow, winding road through the Blue Ridge Mountains. Very scenic but not very fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Flight 93 Memorial is the site of the crash, on 9\/11 2001, when the plane hijacked by terrorists and apparently headed for the Capitol Building in Washington DC was intentionally crashed when the passengers fought back against the hijackers. Very heroic and very tragic. 44 people died – 33 passengers, 7 crew and 4 hijackers. A wall commemorates each victim – one panel per person. There is a Visitor’s Center about a half mile from the crash site. We got our steps in walking to the Visitor’s Center and back to the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About a mile from the site there is a tower of chimes. We stopped there on our way out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stayed two nights at the Quality Inn<\/a> in Harrisburg PA, near Hershey PA. We liked the hotel. Very clean, very comfortable, good WiFi, a very nice complimentary breakfast. The two nights allowed us to visit the Hershey Chocolate World in a leisurely way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
