Raiders of the Lost Ark – Alternative Ending

A short story by Canyon

"You've done your country a great service and we thank you", said Colonel Musgrove to Indiana Jones. "And, uh, we trust you found the settlement satisfactory?"

"Oh, they money's fine", began Indy. "But the situation is totally unacceptable."

"Well, gentlemen, I guess this just about wraps it up", finished Major Eaton

"Where is the Ark?" asked Brody, his voice full of urgency and concern.

"I thought we'd settled that. The Ark is somewhere very safe", replied Eaton.

"From whom?" asked Indy.

Brody was having none of it: "The Ark is a source of unspeakable power and it has to be researched."

"And it will be, I assure you", began Eaton. "Doctor Brody, Doctor Jones. We have top men working on it right now."

Indy leaned forward: "Who?"

Eaton replied with just two words: "Top Men."

Just at that moment, there was a knock at the door.

Eaton sighed. "Come in!"

An older gentlemen dressed in a suit came in and approached Eaton. He then whispered something in his ear.

Eaton looked uncomfortable as the man left.

"Ah gentlemen", he began. "There appears to have been a misunderstanding. According to an almost forgotten law from the 1920's, we, the government cannot take the Ark away. Therefore, as you have already realized, you are free to display the Ark in a museum of your choosing."

Indy and Marcus looked at each other, a slow smile spreading across their faces.

Two days later.

After some well-deserved rest, Indiana Jones was ready to attend the grand opening display of the Ark of the Covenant.

He had just arrived at Marcus' museum and was on his way to the East Wing, where the opening was taking place.

Indy was clean shaven and was wearing a black tuxedo, complete with a red silk carnation on the lapel.

He walked through the door and was just about to take in the sight of the Ark, when several people noticed his entrance and gave a round of applause. Indy offered a slight lop-sided smile and bowed slightly.

Marcus approached him with a big smile on his face.

"Indy, it's so good to see you here!" said his friend, jubilantly. "The Ark, it seems, lights up the whole room!"

"Thanks Marcus. It's good to be here. Have you seen Marion?"

Just as he had spoken the words, he noticed an attractive figure enter the room.

It was Marion and she was wearing a red floor length evening gown and looked stunning.

Indy smiled and as he did, she saw him and smiled.

"Well Jones, you really did it", she said admiringly, as they both approached the Ark which was in the center of the room surrounded by thick glass.

"I did. You know something, Marion; the Ark is a lot like you."

"Yeah, how so?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.

He turned to her, and put a hand round her waist. "Well, the Ark is stunning, beautiful to look at…"

He never finished his sentence as Marion's lips met his and they were both swept up in a glorious kiss.

Moments later, staff and reporters were gathered at the podium and Indy heard his name mentioned by Marcus a couple of times.

"I guess that's my cue", he told Marion.

Just as he was about to go, Marion grabbed his arm and pulled him into another kiss.

"Wow! What was that for?" he asked.

"For still being the man that I fell in love with ten years ago."

Do you have hikes you recommend for those visiting California? Xxx

I feel like I've answered something like this before? Not that I expect you to scroll aimlessly for something that may or may not be there, I'm just feeling some deja vu right now.

Anyway. California is a pretty vague location to recommend hikes in, so I'll hope you meant Southern California and stick with that. I will say my all-time favorite hike is Half Dome, but that's in Yosemite and you need a permit, so probably not too helpful.

In LA... my favorite longer hike is the Bridge to Nowhere. It's in the mountains east of the city. It's 10ish miles round trip with lots of river crossings and some areas to swim. If you go on a Saturday, you can watch people bungee jump. Watch out for snakes and be aware there's no cell service out there. I really caution doing this one if it's over like 90 degrees in the middle of the day. If you want something shorter but still with swimmable water, look at Switzer Falls, Eaton Canyon, or Escondido Falls.

Malibu Creek State Park is full of trails of various lengths and pretty views, as are the Hollywood Hills. Franklin Canyon, Laurel Canyon, Coldwater Canyon, Runyon Canyon etc.

In Orange County, there are lots of coastal trails. I like Crystal Cove State Park and the Aliso Creek Trail in Laguna Niguel. Whiting Ranch has some cool sandstone structures. If you want to go into the canyons, I recommend Temescal Canyon, Black Star, or Holy Jim.

OK Honestly I don't go to San Diego often, but I know there's Potato Chip Rock in Poway and Torrey Pines on the coast. Sorry 😂

If you want to go to the Inland Valleys, Murray Canyon or Ladder Canyon are cool. Just keep in mind it gets HOT out there.

Other miscellaneous spots that come to mind are mountain peaks. I don't climb them, but I know people do. Mt. Wilson, Cucamonga, Baldy, San Jacinto, etc. There is also a cool hot spring spot in the mountains east of LA and Orange County called Deep Creek Hot Springs. Just be aware it's along the PCT, so lots of people hike through there. Nudity is allowed and practiced by some. Also it's warm, fresh water so I would recommend never putting your head under, Naegleria Fowleri and all.

I been busy working and couple days ago, I can able to unwind with my cousin’s, their kids and mine. I felt so relax and calm. Nature really is a gold theraphy.

We went to Eaton Canyon Falls where we stayed and bring the kids to explore and unwind. Such a lovely place to hangout, hiking, camp and so on. Places were huge. Plenty of things to explore. I am glad to ne able to see it just a little bit. I highly recommend the place. Unique and kids friendly. This place is for everyone!

The water is cold yet relaxing. The river runs through the top all the way to the bottom. I just so happy to able to hike, watch, and play with kids in the water. ❤️❤️

Nazareth - Hair of the Dog (Official Audio) Yep..., I was a “Bad Boy” in my teens/20′s and this is the 8Track tune I would slam in for a dirt road race west of Sheridan Wyoming passed Eaton’s Ranch.   Gripping the steering wheel like I was hang’n from a cliff.  I raced heavy cars like the Plymouth Fury and Ford Galaxy 500′s.  It’s always cool to wreck a Ford.  But we never drank until the day was over and we had our cars circled around a fire in the Tongue River Canyon.  A Real Racer knows to wait to Party,  if you want to live to race another day on dirt roads.  :D
