If You Left A Monolith In A Remote Utah Canyon, Authorities Would Like A Word

While on a mission to count bighorn sheep last Wednesday, Wildlife Resources officers aboard a Utah Department of Public Safety helicopter spotted a curious sight: a steely, triangular 10- to 12-foot-tall monolith, firmly planted at the bottom of an isolated sandstone gulch.

“During the counts we came across this, in the middle of nowhere, buried deep in the rock,” the department wrote in a caption accompanying the photo on Instagram. “Inquiring minds want to know, what the heck is it? Anyone?”

I love those books. Maybe it's time to read them again. It would be a great distraction from the Twitler shit show. Cheers!

moved to Moab over 40 years ago. We used to make regular camping/hiking trips to the Canyonlands area. They were steeped in E.A. and the MWG and got me started too. Though I haven't seen them in many years, knowing their inclinations, a little part of me thinks they might know something about this.
