    Is it possible to even move the pole in one piece?

    You can move anything if you have the bucks to do so. I recall an old lighthouse out east being moved,
    several miles inland to protect it, a few years ago.

    Oh yeah, it was the Cape Hatteras lighthouse: http://www.labs.net/anaiselise/lhse/mov.htm

    Maybe a smaller scale plan would be for a park, maybe a baseball field, and leave the flagpole as it stands.
