Tahoe Spooner Summit Flag replacement 2020 Hwy 50 Carson City, NV

Posted on October 31, 2020 by Roger Young

Brought to my attention by Spur 24, Bill McCalister & Spur 3, Chuck Oualline – Bear:

“Every year, since 9/11, Chris Sneed (aka “Flash”) climbs the craggy peak on Hwy 50 between Spooner Summit and Carson City, Nevada, to replace the tattered, worn-out American Flag which flies to honor our troops. In 2020, an anonymous photographer happened to be passing by as it was about to take place and took this video. Given all the turmoil of 2020, it was an emotional moment…

“He’s been doing this for 18 years! Gotta’ love ‘im.”
