With today's technology you would think someone could take a picture of the exact spot that they landed and planted the flag. Wouldn't that still be there???

It was blown over when the Lunar Module lifted off to return to Earth. As I recall you can see it being blown over in the video footage, and I've read that subsequent moon missions implanted the flag farther from the landing site so it wouldn't be blown over.

Oh, they're there. I've seen them through my backyard telescope.
