So, this started as less of a task and more of a random hiking adventure. As with most of my favorite things in life, this was found along the way.

Hiking is usually a good idea, so a few friends and I decided to do just that. To the top of Thunder Head, a large mountain that overlooks Silver Lake in Northern California.

There were flowers


and big metal avalanche control structures


and lots of pretty scenery. All in all, it was a nice day.


Then we found a random flag, jammed into a rock, upside down.... This is where the reality weakness comes in.


It just looked strange. In the middle of nowhere, a good way away from the trail, was this flag. On the ground, upside down, tossed aside like a pile of trash... Who would put it there? Why put it there? I have my theories, but that's really not important. The important thing is that we fix it. We owed it to America! and we really had nothing better to do.

So we journeyed on, now with our newly rescued flag.


We ventured miles.


Crossed vast snow fields.


Braved rugged terrain.


Until finally we reached the top.


We then set to work, installing the flag on the top of the mountain.


Right where it belongs.


Weakness repaired



The End
