Directions from Robert Farmer: Here's how I found it: From Pennsylvania Turnpike, take Exit 110 at Somerset. From the exit at the toll plaza, go straight across the intersection, then make a left to 281 north. Take this to Friedens. At the pizza restaurant (Cheryl's?), turn east (right) on Welsh Hill Road. Go 4.4 miles. Turn left (north) on Stutzmantown Road. Go 1.6 miles to Shanksville and the put-in bridge. From here, drive north toward Lambertville (there's a left turn just past the bridge in Shanksville) for 4.1 miles, past the Flight 93 monument. Turn left on Pompey Road and drive 1.5 miles to the bridge at Mostoller. The only identifying sign here is the word Mostoller on a small railroad company shed/shack next to the railroad tracks. Probably, it is possible to drive directly from 281 to Mostoller, but I did not check it out.
