I wanted to go on a flightseeing trip of Denali when I was in Alaska. I figured that it would be very unlikely since I was booking it months in advance and Denali was covered in clouds about 70 percent of the time.

Important texts are written on the wheels and spinning them is believed to garner as much good karma as reading the inscriptions aloud.
