Jackass!

More proof that government designations don't really "protect" wilderness. Delicate Arches in Arches National Park is almost a trademark for Southern Utah. It's on some of our license plates. A few years ago a photographer started a fire around the base for a photograph, without thinking what that could do to the sandstone being heated up. Now some jerk has "free climbed" it.

This reminds me of the people who use ancient Indian rock art for target practice or a good place to write their names. The problem with passing laws putting these things in wilderness or other "protection" is that it doesn't work. Just because somebody backpacks or hikes in, instead of driving, it's no guarantee that he's not a yahoo.
