Is this her work?
I shot this this morning 10/28/14 @ the schoolroom, Wall Street climbing area, Potash road outside of Moab.
Or is it the work of an imitator, an homage, of sorts?
Which possibility is more disturbing?

... personal threats, vulgarities and posting of personal information should stop. So, this punishment would be frowned upon?

I had forgotten about this, but last summer there was color grafiti, similar to her style, at the torpedo tube end of the nautilus, in vedauwoo.

Hey Jaybro, that's a disturbing image of the "oh-so-pretty" white design. Sorry to see this.
Is that done in chalk?

Having such overwhelming national negative social media attention towards herself it seems as a severe punishment in of itself.
She's already walking around with a bright loud scarlet letter on herself wherever she's recognized in public.
I don't blame her for freaking out especially from psychos wanting a death sentence or other bodily harm.
So much hate towards this woman can really completely destroy her self esteem .......

Kids today need to learn there are consequences to their actions.
One of the downsides to social media is that lynch mobs can form quickly. But in her case, it's a live by the sword kind of a deal.
Hopefully, she'll be able to take away the lesson from this and continue with her life, but the stupidity and selfishness of this is pretty horsesh*t.

No Crunch, sadly, it's not chalk! I spit and rubbed and it didn't budge, was there eight hours later and so was it :(
If it's a copycat does that make it a "nock (et ) off?"

Sheep's pass group campsite boulder....
City folk and their "art"......
A lot of this "tagging" is just out of ignorance. This young lady and her publicity/notoriety has educated the masses.......Did she know she was doing something "wrong" or "bad".....yes.
Did she know she could face a HUGE fine and LONG jail sentence;...I would say no;...or she wouldn't have put it all over the internet.
There will be some sort of punishment for her vain vandalism...but I personally hope it is not severe. We have all, once again, learned a very valuable lesson from this. She needs to go clean up her messes, get a reasonable fine (not a crippling or bankrupt fine)...and spend a few nights in the slammer....do some community service or something to educate others like her about this.....and then move on with her life.........
It's wrong, ugly and messy........
I wish no ill will upon her;..but she will have to pay the piper with this one......
I feel bad for her, her parents, our national treasures, and her poor judgement.......
She was not acting out of malace or evil thoughts or dastardly criminal intent......just silly hipster city-folk nonsense that sent a BIG shockwave throughout the country......it's a shame..

Anybody seen the 'art' crap on the boulders near at the Amphitheater entrance in Indian Cove?
If I could catch JUST ONE of these people in the act....
What a TR that would make...

I hope that it is severe.
If it's not the "valuable lesson" will be that even if you go on a tagging "spree" hitting multiple parks across the party, you knew what you were doing was wrong (as shown by her blog posting "I know. I'm a bad person.") and are are caught red-handed, all you get is a slap on the wrist.
Make an example out of her.
If she can just say "sorry" and pay a small fine, it will not deter others. It will just show that:
1. You will almost never get caught for doing what she did unless you are stupid enough to post pictures of you doing on the Internet using your real name.
2. Even if you are stupid enough to get caught, not much will happen.

BITD we caught some folks starting to tag some boulders at Cap Rock in JT. My stepdad (John Wolfe) is a pretty calm, rationale person most of the time, but he was having none of that. We were above them and he jumped off a boulder from pretty high up and landed right into the middle of them. He grabbed the spray cans right out their hands and scared the living sh*t out of all 4 of them. I had never seen him that fired up. It was awesome. He herded them back to their car and they jumped in and lit out before they even had chance a think about what was happening to them.
After that he called the Rangers and gave them the spray cans and license plate number.

That's a great story StahlBro!
I've done that sort of stuff in the preserve near my house to chase out motorcycles and even one d-bag who drove his Suburban up a hiking trail because he said his son had sprained his ankle!!!
Unfortunately, the notoriety of this act might just raise this sort of thing to a "hero-bandit" type of thing where getting away with it is the thrill and we'll see it going on all over the place (like the stuff going on up in Rattlesnake Canyon a while back). The really sad deal is that the porous nature of all types of rocks make it virtually impossible to erase paint or to return the rock to it's original state, so once the damage is done, it will always serve to turn sections of parks and other natural areas into some sort of Honey Boo-Boo shrine.
Aren't we about due to cycle around to where it's hip to care about nature again?

National Park Service Press Release
For Immediate Release:

Suspect Named in Vandalism Case at Eight Western National Parks
Public asked to be patient as investigation continues
WASHINGTON – A 21-year-old New York State woman, Casey Nocket, has been identified as the primary suspect in recent vandalism cases that affect eight national parks in the western United States.
National Park Service investigators have confirmed that images were painted on rocks and boulders in Yosemite National Park, Death Valley National Park, and Joshua Tree National Park, all in California; Rocky Mountain National Park and Colorado National Monument, both in Colorado; Crater Lake National Park, in Oregon; Zion National Park and Canyonlands National Park, both in Utah.
Investigators continue to collect evidence of the crimes, conduct interviews, and are consulting with the U.S. Attorney's Office about potential charges. We ask the public to exercise patience and allow due process to take its course as the investigation moves forward.
The image in Rocky Mountain National Park was reported to the park and removed in late September before similar images were found in the other national parks.
Ice and snow now cover the image at Crater Lake National Park, and it may not be accessible for assessment and clean up until next summer.
An image in Yosemite National Park was removed by an unknown person or persons.
If people visiting these parks come upon these images, they should contact the nearest park ranger with information about the image location. Visitors should not attempt to remove the images.
The National Park Service was contacted on October 20 about this vandalism case. The investigation began immediately.
