    A non-story. I agree with the guys who removed the first one - it attracted non-conservationist people to converge on one remote location for the wrong reasons which was already resulting in harm to the wilderness. Some desert locations, like Black Rock, with some mitigation can be heavily used (Burning Man) without lasting harm, other locations like petroglyphs and the hard pan tracings can't survive even light usage.
    Short term presentations in remote locations that don't cause harm or are attempted to be permanent even if illegal might be okay. Also there is plenty of privately owned remote land that could be used for longer term installations, like James Turrell's Skystone and Michael Heiser's Double Negative (I've visited both sites) and Spiral Jetty.

    A couple months ago around my area a safe turned up in one of the farmers fields. There was a note saying, " if you can get this open, you can have whatever is inside". Cool thing is, there was no tire tracks or tracks of any kind around it. The people who put it there didnt drop it or anything. So it couldn't have been slid out of a helicopter. Noone ever figured out how or why it was put there. I always thought that was wierd lol.
