Absolutely. Idiots indeed. I have some problems with some of the parks management but just destroying our resources is asinine.

There was a Walt Disney cartoon some years back ("Grand Canyonscope" 1954) about how Donald Duck unintentionally destroyed similar rock formations at a national park. He was beset upon by an irate and pudgy Park Ranger (J. Audubon Woodlore) who gave him a broom and instructions to make right all he'd destroyed and put it back in its original state.

Ranger Woodlore: Well, I hope you're satisfied. You two have, in a matter of minutes, messed up what it took Mother Nature millions of years to create. The National Park Rule Book states, and I quote, "When a natural object is marred or defaced, it must be restored to its original state." So, start digging!

To be fair, I don’t think it was millions of years needed to do this, I suspect the flood thousands of years back had something to do with it.

These guys aren’t too smart though. Sometimes it’s just nice to leave things alone so other people can enjoy them.
