America the Beautiful

I’ve said this before but the Haugen family, especially Harold, is a different kind of people. In my family we celebrate the 4th of July with barbeques, swimming, and fireworks. The Haugens, however, hang a 40 foot American flag across a 150 yard gap in the canyon behind their home. It was my privilege to follow them up document this tradition. It was so much fun, I hope they let me join them every year.

After you get through these photos you have to go check out their video on their site Something Devine
Also here are a few news reports about it. Fox or KSL
