Writing with a Sharpie on signs

[hikerboy57]

the sharpie culture has been around far too long for any meaningful sharpie control legislation to have much if any effect on graffiti reduction. we need to look at the underlying egocentric causes of graffiti, both urban and rural, to gain a better understanding as to why cave paintings ever existed.

I think some have forgotten, or did not know, the beauty of the pristine AT was a place to get away from ghetto graffiti. So Sad.

I suppose signs can be replaced etc.. and sharpies, well, they just can't do too much damage on huge rocks on the AT.

I'm with you DeerPath, my heart sunk when I hiked up to Hay Rock just above Daleville and saw that huge, once beautiful rock, just covered in graffiti. You can't even see the natural rock, in places. It's completely ruined. I think spray paint was involved. Ugggg!!!

I agree...................hate it. Defacing man-made things is one thing (not a huge fan) But defacing nature? NO WAY!!

Heart is in the right place, on the wrong place.

Agree 100% MilkMan....I even like the sentiment of the flag....but would rather see a flag pole and light put on it than someones art work....

and doesn't the heart go in the middle of the two....must have been and after thought, can't be true love

I agree!!! Now, is there anything we can do about it. I'm thinking not.

No, it's just a human condition....

although through education, and constant pressure on the issue probably couldn't hurt, It's somethin.....

Nope he was headed off at the pass....ya know I think that's one story where there was a great outcome and a learning experience for many...so for me, that chapter has been read, torn out of the book, and burned in the fire to save weight...movin on!

I think that a good way to combat all the sharpies on the trail, would be to hand out blunts.

your kidding right?...they'd be asking for multiple colors...

Just came back from a walk with too much weight on my back. I noticed someone spray painted numbers on the tarred bike path I was walking on. The numbers looked professional and all. They even had a pattern to them. They increased by .25 every 440 yards.
