As for the odd little analog over here, it's not like any of the other markers in the vicinity have been pried. Just that particular one got the treatment.
I even walked by it in the past hour. It's maybe 10 ft off of the road. Still there, holding water.
Also on the walk was something I hadn't notice til yesterday, a paper birch tree growing out of the side of a huge boulder, such that the rock had split. Looked really weird.
Then I realized that it must have been a game of rock paper scissors.
Paper beats rock! Makes perfect sense. 🤪
