    These are the same people that throw their trash out their car windows and litter in public parks and parking lots.

    Unfortunately Michael Caine said it best, “Some men just want to watch the world burn.” I hope social media helps these rangers find those people.

    As an Eagle Scout & leader in my Son’s Boy Scout troop, an avid hiker, backpacker and general outdoor enthusiast… this is incredibly upsetting. This type of vandalism can’t be undone. I hope they find them and throw a rock…I mean the book at them. Or both.

    Part of the Scout Outdoor Code is “…to be considerate in the outdoors.” which means treat the land and other land users with respect and follow the principles of outdoor ethics for all outdoor activities.

    The good news is that Earth will have the last laugh. These people will grow old and die in a fraction of a geologic blink. They’ll be tossed down a hole or incinerated and then finally serve a purpose as their component elements are recycled. If any monument to their memory is erected, the rain will patiently grind it to dust until it too is fully consumed. That’s assuming their grave stone (or similar marker of the fading stain they’ve left behind) isn’t knocked down prematurely by unruly future passersby.

    Didn’t the government destroy a lot of ancient formations with various nuclear tests in the last century?

    “visitors”, huh?

    …guess it falls in line with the “settlers” carrying out a genocide in Gaza, or the “protesters” who carried out an insurrection here in the US, etc.

    Why is so hard for journalist to just call shit what it is?

     

    Edit- well this rubbed folks the wrong way. Just in case my intent came off wrong:

    visitors --> vandals

    settlers --> invaders

    protesters --> domestic terrorists

    …or are we getting brigaded by MAGAts?

      Just taking a stab here, but journalists can be sued for libel. While we interpret these people in this way, a court of law needs to make it official or someone can take you to court.

      Journalism is still a business and a point of authoritative information.
