the memorial, the steps back up to the Rest Stop Parking lot. This entire
memorial is on the backside of the parking lot, and it would probably
be an accurate guess that most people do not even know it is here, especially
if they did not notice the small sign up by the road. Both times that
the two RV Gypsies were here, there was not another person around, even
though the rest stop parking lot was full of cars and trucks. |
