I remember about a year ago reading about a young woman that visited and defaced several of our National Parks with her so-called art work. I think her name was Casey Nockett.Anyway, I haven't heard anything about it in almost a year. Supposedly, the NPS was going to track her down and charge her with several felonies. Has anyone heard if the NPS ever did anything about this vandalism in the parks?I'm hoping so, but I can't find any related stories about it...Don

That was Casey Nocket and it was in 2014

Nov 1,2015 seems to be the most recent info.May end up not being pursed :SLINK

"A quick glimpse at the handiwork by Nocket, the goblin topplers or the hundreds of tourist names inscribed on the rockface below will demonstrate that some people just don't get the idea of leaving a place better than when you found it."I was thinking it was generational too...how many of us here were taught this lesson? Or better yet: "It's not my property, I will not deface it."

If the "taggers" were forced to remove the graffiti with a tooth brush or face jail time, the word would get out. Those are "our" parks.

Different times. Different standards. Nothing to compare.

Actress Vanessa Hudgens is now in trouble for defacing Sedona red rocks. She and her bf carved their initials inside a heart on a rock. I am totally mind-boggled that ANYONE feels they have a right to destroy nature.
