Huh? From Wikipedia:
Charles Lindbergh spent his final years on the Hawaiian island of Maui, where
he died on August 26, 1974. He was buried on the grounds of the Palapala
Ho'omau Church in Kipahulu, Maui. His epitaph on a simple stone which quotes
Psalms 139:9, reads: Charles A. Lindbergh Born: Michigan, 1902. Died: Maui,
1974. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of
the sea."
Because of earthquake damage to Hawaii State Highway 31, Lindbergh's final
resting place is presently accessible by land only via State Highway 360, the
so-called Road to Hana.
