Tim's American Flag Story

Every 4th of July, the owner of Coleman/Walker KOA climbs the cliff called Centennial Bluff behind his RV Park to replace the American Flag flying above it on the summit.  It is an all day hiking trip that begins at 5 am and his effort continues a tradition going back to 1876.

We stayed at their park and enjoyed meeting Tim and his wife Mary.  Also known as Meadowcliff, it is easy to see how the park was named as horses and cattle graze in the meadow at the base of the above cliff.  My iPhone does not do justice to capturing the flag, but it was an interesting story I wanted to share.

As we travel it is nice to see such beautiful places, experience the charm of each venue and meet interesting people.  People who are busy doing meaningful things with their lives; who are willing to share a moment of their time, a laugh or a story or maybe a common lesson learned.

Each in their own way contributes to the goodness this country represents.  For that I am grateful.
