It Just Makes Cents
A July 4, 2011 story in the L.A. Times sheds more light on this barn's origins:
It was on a morning in 2001, just days after the 9/11 attacks, that Robert McCaffrey said "I've been thinking about it, and I'm going to paint our barn with stars and stripes."
"It was just our own way to express love of county during a difficult time, but it seems to resonate," Karen McCaffrey said. "It's taken on a life of its own."
High school classes, engaged couples, volunteer fire departments and Yosemite-bound tourists have all posed in front of the flag barn. Last year, Major League Baseball filmed it.
