At 37.1 is an example of desecration; I already contacted Carbon County about it when I sent them the copy of the new map and legend; hopefully it will be removed without harming the rock face further.  If you see anyone doing vandalism, take their photo, photo of their vehicle and make sure to get the license plate.  Report vandalism to the BLM Price Field Office, 125S 600W, Price, UT, 84501; telephone 435-636-3600.
