May 2nd was an emotionally chaotic day... It was great to get back to this site from over a decade ago, yet... I am reminded of how many of the monuments never were documented... Also on this return trip... of which I had heard rumor... we found that many of the Monuments have been destroyed....
Destroyed
I don't understand.... whether 100 years old or in excess of 500 years and as well as they were built, how is it they survive chaining operations, Curt Gowdy cowboys and there target shooting etc.. all this time, and along comes this generation, and they get destroyed... The sad part for me is there is no immediate consequence for their destruction such as the destruction of Native American Petroglyphs. What the hell is the matter with people these days? It would seem this generation is is taught the values of destruction rather than building something or preservation... At least one of the many that was destroyed, it was clear that it was used as target practice... Wow, there's something to brag about to your grand kids... Damned weekend warriors anyway...
Oh well... MOVE ON! I have several more to document and need help in that I do not own 4 wheelers... any takers?
Here are several of the presumed prehistoric intricately built monuments that are now destroyed...
