At this very moment, I am working on developing "history interpretation" concepts for sites in the region surounding historic Caddo Lake in Texas and Louisana.

Perhaps some enterprising group could build a motor-driven turntable that slowly rotates the top of the pedestal on which the cap rests -- so that all sides are made visible. (Inexpensive clock-drive motors are readily available...)

Similarly, a public (and publicised) donation of a new interpretive placard to go under the cap-- with a "compass rose" to indicate the direcion each side faces atop the monument, and returning to the 2000 wording -- could be made and presented.

Seems to me that, with a large public outcry, (and with no dollar outlay on their part) the NPS would be forced to accept and use the donated "interpretive display aids"... .

Opportunity for some effective activism by a few, ingenious and dedicated FReepers?...

Rotating platforms for Christmas (oops) Holiday (sorry) Winter trees are not uncommon at flea markets and garage sales.

Seems ready-made for this purpose.
