Remember these 2 idiots, Glenn Taylor and David Hall? The dimwitted (now former) Boy Scout leaders who toppled a rock formation at Utah’s Goblin Valley State Park? Well they are now facing felonious criminal mischief,,,
"We are taking it seriously," Mr. Blackwell said. "It's been an interesting case, mostly because of the attention it's garnered."
Park rangers said that visitors should keep their hands off natural formations, especially those under state protection. "This is highly, highly inappropriate," Eugene Swalbert, a state park official, told the Salt Lake Tribune.
Once the shoreline of a prehistoric sea, Goblin Valley was discovered by cowboys in the 1920s. The deposits that created the massive sandstone were laid down 170 million years ago, close to the breakup of the supercontinent Pangea in the Mid- to Late-Jurassic Era.
The actual formations, which geologist Mark Milligan calls “wonderfully grotesque,” were formed as the land began to lift about 10 million years ago, long before man emerged.
