Idiots.

That was pretty stupid.

Not sure how they figure 200 million years. More apropos is how long it had left assuming natural erosion. I’d guess not more than 1000 years, and maybe more likely 100. Not to condone this sort of thing, you understand, but geez.

Had the park service placed Barry-cades all around the 100 mile park perimeter to keep trash, like these morons, out of our parks?

Or, were they too busy harassing 90 year old veterans???

The men filmed one of their buddies

These aren't men, they are fat-ass turdblossoms.

Reminds me of a film I saw in the historical museum in Portland: people holding hands in a circle and doing ring-round-a-rosy or something on the stump of a giant redwood.

In order to fully appreciate their stupidity, here are some photos of the "Goblins" and "Hoodoos".

Morons. Throw the book at them.

a year of smashing big rocks into little ones works for me.

that guy needs a bra, or a different t shirt

Unlike most FR'ers, I guess I'm not a wacko environmentalist. They knocked over an unassuming, plain-looking rock sitting at ground level. We used to have fun pushing and knocking over big rocks when I was a kid on the trails of Pennsylvania too. It didn't take much effort for them to push it over, and if people are playing on them as they are in the below picture regularly, this is probably not the first one that got knocked around. If there are signs up somewhere saying it's illegal to touch the rocks, then maybe they're guilty of something, but this is far from a crime against humanity in my book.

They’re Boy Scout leaders. Unreal.

While not exactly the same thing, this puts me in mind of a passage from Robert A. Heinlein's book, "Tramp Royale", which details his around-the-world trip in the 1950's.

He and his wife were in New Zealand, and touring a cave. Their guide was explaining how stalactites and stalagmites formed, and by way of demonstration snapped(!) off a thin stalactite to show them the layers inside.

RAH comments that such an action would have gotten the guide beaten within an inch of his life in Carlsbad Caverns after it was drilled into the guests there how precious and delicate the formations were.

if those guys are “hikers” than I guess I’m a marathon runner.....

[bigbob]

A holes!

I know they aren’t 2 million years old, but it would have been much better if they had pushed each other off a cliff.

[Ciexyz]

Watching their big fat butts jump in glee over their vandalism was sickening.

[Cvengr]

Send them on a shuttle to Mars and let them spend the next 70 yrs tumbling as many rocks as they want.

[blackpacific]

It looks like those rock formations are 200 million years old, plus or minus 500 million years.

Those boys were lucky the rock did not fall on top of them. Some Boy Scouts will always need adult supervision.
