This is new. I’ve never seen a flag on my trails before.

Look, the flag even has a number on it. I wonder what it’s here for.
Hey, I found another flag. This one has a number too.
We need to figure out why those flags are here. Maybe I should put on my Detective Dog hat again?
Oh wait, I think I’ve figured it out already.
Look at this mound here. Right near those flags. You know who makes these mounds, don’t you?
Gophers!
And I bet those gophers are up to something. I bet they’re up to a good round of gopher golf.
All I have to do is follow those flags and I bet we’ll find the gophers. And the gopher golf balls.
Come on, person. Let’s go look for those gophers.
I know we’re almost at the end of our walk, but we’ve got to go back and look. Maybe they’ll let us in on the game. I’d like to swing at a few gophers.

Hmmm. I don’t see any gophers anywhere. Or any more flags, either.
Oh. Now I know why I’m not seeing any gophers.
Those gophers took their flags and their little golf balls and clubs…
and ran them down this hole.
Guess I’ll have to swing at a gopher another day.
