Has anyone seen this Monolith?

I located and pinned exactly where the monolith used to be on both of my laptop's digital maps - Google Earth and Microsoft Maps. I could probably even pinpoint it on my Garmin navigator unit.

Some of the typical Utah desert dirt/dusty roads come fairly close to it's location. Maybe the last few hundred yards (miles?) would require a 4X4 pickup to haul it into where it was - in what looks like maybe a wide wash with rock formations ringing it. I couldn't be sure using the maximum non-blurred resolution available for both maps.

"Probably in dry weather" our small 2WD MH could get within non-lethal hiking distance of the monolith's location to explore and camp way out there. Some years ago we actually drove our rig to Dubinky Well several miles north of the area. :)

I find generally a ranger's description of any off pavement adventure has always a bit exaggerated in difficulty.

That's more like it ... solid any-metal would have been way too much weight to deal with!!

Since they think it was placed there in the 2nd half of 2016, I wonder why it's taken so long to be discovered -> ... it may be because it was in a very remote place, and ... it must have taken a 4X4 truck to get it there in that remote place.

A remote location combined with a truck being able to get there may mean that area is a pretty good place to boondock camp near. I wonder if our small motorhome with it's stock pickup truck type ground clearance could make it there in dry weather? :h and ;)

Hmmmm ... if indeed it was stainless steel ... I wish they would publish a video on how they removed it!!! :h

So much for that point of interest on my next desert expedition :(

Where will the next one show up?

Yep. Gone. It's now on Jupiter. (Probably one of Jupiter's moons? That is one of the mysteries surrounding that movie -- they went to Jupiter to re-find the monolith, but Jupiter has a gaseous atmosphere -- no place to land the spacecraft. So was it on a moon??)
