Both of us were apprehensive about unhitching the Airstream in a back corner of a major truck stop in Breezetown, but we were taking the Lincoln Highway to the memorial\u2014a hilly two-lane road much of the way, with 9% grades going up and down and some tight turns. The memorial was in the opposite direction by several hours to where we would be staying for the week, so we took the risk and the time as we agreed that this was a must-do detour. We came to terms with the potential outcomes of the fate of our Airstream: it could be broken into, towed, ticketed, or left alone. Luckily and happily, it was the latter.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dev.rivetingjourney.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/TowerofVoices-185x300.jpg\")

The National Park Service (NPS) Flight 93 Memorial is in a remote spot of Pennsylvania. Once we turned off the Lincoln Highway (Hwy. 30), we drove two and a half miles down a well-paved, two lane road passing along the way the Tower of Voices, which is still under construction (the tower is there but the 40 wind chimes to complete it have not yet been installed), to get to the Visitor Center Complex. Of course, this was closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but we were able to walk the sidewalk through the striking architectural structure that overlooks the memorialized debris field and Wall of Names down below. The sidewalk had inlaid markers (see picture gallery) commemorating the other devastating flights of 9\/11.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dev.rivetingjourney.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DSC_1673n-scaled.jpg\" "\\"DSC_1673n\\"")
