Nice wheels Tom, many happy hours in mileage!
Stopping off to learn a bit about the regions history always leaves one confounded.... Work has always been dangerous, just getting in a vehicle today is much the same, somehow when many are lost in fatal accidents it does shake one to the core.
It's a really small town (maybe 3000) in a really big area, so you have to think that everybody there lost someone in the disaster. I don't know why it affected me so, and still does.
Some places do affect us, perhaps we heard a story when young which is in our memory bank somewhere. Enjoy the ride don't linger on the past too much.
