Poorly Placed Items: This photo is the first of a series intended to highlight various things scattered across the landscape which don't seem to be where they should. Here we have the back end of a graffiti'd-up fuel container for a semi truck that managed to end up atop a large hill previously though accessible only by switchbacks. Also notable: the partially-rotted piece of wood attached to the flagpole. Being our resting location the first night in Mexico, I took the post to be a reassuring omen, as it seemed to be pointing south.
