There has been a couple of diaries about the idiots who thought it would be a great idea to rearrange nature and topple a hoodoo at Goblin Valley State Park in Utah. No doubt those fools deserve all the scorn that can be heaped upon them, but something far worse is waiting for the red rock heaven that is south central Utah and maybe we all can do something about it.
There is so much more to this part of Utah than just Goblin. It's part of an rare ecosystem and a vanishing wilderness that is both brutal and beautiful. It's the San Rafael Swell and its also a site that is ripe for exploitation by the energy and mineral industries. We need to protect it.
Please be careful as we climb the dkos hoodoo to see what is on the other side.
