It seems that April 1 is a bad day for rock formations (see the Boot Flake thread). Coincidence???????

Kinda fake news, as the tower's monolithic structure is intact but just moved...It was really a kinda toreva block cohesive back-rotational slide driven by grossly inflated high self value gravity anomaly of instagram postings and web traffic just SW of the tower's former location, probably from the climber campground, coupled with urine, IPA-scented spray and schmaltzy B-roll saturation of the underlying clays of the Chinle and Moenkopi acting as a lubricant goo to get the thing moving. Which is fine, but let's remember to blame the millenials and not O/G industry.

I clicked on the buy now button for the spatula expecting it to say April Fools but it really wanted my money....
