Besides Flight 93 Memorial we visited the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum. The highlight was the historical Horseshoe Curve and subsequent reservoirs created by not engineers but self taught workmen in late 1800s. The tracks linked an area from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh and created a new route of shipping/traveling and provided a million gallons of water for the city of Altoona.
We climbed 194 steps to watch the train enter the curve and it was traveling out of sight while the last car had not yet appeared where it started.
We also visited Lincoln Caves and Whisper Rocks.
We stayed over to Monday and spent Sunday afternoon on a pontoon boat with 8 others most of the day. We packed up Monday morning, broom cleaned the cottage and took off at 8 am, arriving in Troy at Kelly’s at 4 pm. She had dinner for us and on Tuesday, before Pat and Kelly’s departure for their Alaskan cruise, we all went to dinner. Bidkar was working. Little CeCe was at the head of the table and Pops took the photo
