Can't tell from the photo and I haven't read anywhere, is the thing in rock or dirt?

Although there seems to be water there so if the place is frequented by visitors it could disrupt a wildlife watering hole.

The trouble with low-impact, and accepting it, then it eventually grows into a large impact .. like a bulldozer.

Once someone gets away with C like this, it snowballs. NO ONE should ever get away with damaging our national ecosystems. Take one spoonful of sand out of a kids sandbox one day at a time, and in a month it will be empty.

Purdy small sandbox if you can empty it with 31 spoon fulls.

I do know what you mean though.

Still, let the punishment fit the crime. Remove the thing and if the people are caught make them pick up trash or something. No use in sending them to prison over something that did no permanent damage.

Somebody just saw a rerun of 2001 a space odyssey.

The statement above reminds me of this.

Like crop circles it'll be found out to be a scam.

They found the treasure chest.

Some people do things and call it art, and are truly artists.

It's not very difficult to tell the difference.

I imagine at some point, the person - people that placed this will strive for national recognition and suddenly mistakenly become unrecognized artists.

Anyone that agrees with this statement as art will be mistaken. Unless, of course, this monolith actually originated on another planet. 🙂

I expect this item to be found soon. I would mount an expedition myself if I had the time.

A lot of people like a bit of controversy, a sensation, the satisfaction of creating it, it's existence even without anyone knowing they did it.
It is not allowed on Federal Property, but they will probably leave it alone.
When I was kid they called me David Crocket....So I carved David Crocket caught a Bobcat, on one tree near the spot, and captured a bar on another, and David Crockett killed a Bar on this tree on another a mile or so in the woods. I knew no one would believe it bu to find something like that far off the beat track welll...
