The Press-Enterprise
The Mojave Cross saga took yet another unexpected turn Thursday, when the contested symbol that vanished last week reappeared briefly before being taken down by federal officials.
National Park Service officials learned Thursday morning that a cross again was on top of Sunrise Rock, about 10 miles south of Interstate 15 near Cima Road, a sparsely traveled route into the Mojave National Preserve. It's about 30 miles east of Baker.

Wait a minute.
Where in hell does the Federales Park Rangers get off removing the substitute cross on PRIVATE PROPERTY?
Was it or was it not ruled a valid land swap to the Veterans of Foreign Wars?
Something stinks here and I hope the VFW sues post haste!

I heard on Fox News that the cross was an exact replicate of the original cross.

Glad you found the thread! The story actually(amazingly, LOL) first came over the newswire here at the station around midnight. At that time it was difficult to find on the net. Eventually I found the time to post it on FR around 2-3 this morning.
FWIW I was under the impression it was ruled private property but apparently that is being challenged. That's all I can figure.

Still, isn’t that considered a historic artifact? Or am I confusing it with something else. Sort of like the Ten Commandments on the Adams Co. Courthouse. It is part of an historic building.

Excellent idea! Like garlic to a vampire, the cross is the most offensive object in the universe to those bent on “fundamental change” to this country.

ISLAM in action - aided an abetted by the White House, the Courts and the ACLU.
What did Sam Adams do about a government which no longer represented the will of the majority of citizens?
