OK, I'm not sure it's a monolith, strictly speaking, because a monolith would be made of stone, right? Anyway, these installations are just magnets for people who trash and trample the desert. I think installing a mysterious object in a remote location is pretty clever, but we are a nation that harbors too many thoughtless people.

(62,673 posts)... vandalize natural wonders like Old Faithful, or the thermal pools or crowd the 1000s of acres to the point that there are lines of hundreds of autos burning gas waiting for someone to leave so they can get their turn to respect nature.
Quite honestly, I wouldn't complain if they used a lottery system to keep the crowds in certain parks to a tenth of what they are. I believe they should close all cavern systems to visitors.
It's not a monolith going to destroy that park, though I agree: it doesn't need to be there. But generally hikers are a lot more respectful than 'tourists'
coprolite
(319 posts)is appalling and disgusting. I spent time this spring fishing in NW Montana and using unimproved US Forest Service campsites as well as improved campgrounds on Forest Service Land.
The amount of TP lying about in the brush just yards beyond the beaten path or campsite boundary makes me angry.
I wish people would bury their crap and TP. At least, burn their TP. People clean up after their dog, they can at least clean up after themselves. Some people are just pigs.
