No doubt Gov. Benson's heart is in the right place, but there's just no way you can restore something like that.

I remember being told when I was up there that it already was restored, and was being held together with bolts and cables. Of course, this could just be the rural version of an unban legend.

I agree that restoring it is ridiculous. The whole point of it was that it was a natural rock formation and a man made restoration,even if identical to the original,would have no value at all.

The cost to the taxpayers would be prohibitive also.
