A very nice guy in a grey Nissan Xterra (he maybe was a marshal??) lent me a blue flag pole. Forgot to get his name…couldn’t believe he had an extra flag pole (preparation goals!). Anyway…I have it and would like to return it. If anyone has any idea who this awesome guy is, please message me. Will be sure to pay it forward!

I was just a bit too late to comment this post. :-w
I wanted to draw all Xterra drivers attention to the above post of @Leigh, that could have been their moment to prove their bravery… 😀 😀 :))

Now all credit goes to @Jatin
