> And the sister of the brother who died there is asking for people to please not go there and for the link to be deleted (from the group; I'm not sure they realize how viral it went).

That seems a very strange request given that it is public land. If it were private property that would be different, but this location is owned by the public.

Also, if it’s a memorial, it seems he might want people to visit it. Isn’t that the point of a memorial? To remember something?

That's an unreasonable request without an explanation.

Even with the explanation it’s an unreasonable request, because the public owns that land.

Fellow Utah County man here. If I was you, I'd contact the BLM with the full story and share the confidential information with them at least to try to convince them not to remove it. I really feel for the sister, probably her worst nightmare for this story to blow up like it has. Curiosity can be destructive.

I don't know if it's true or not, but of all the text I've seen on the internet, this comment has to be the most likely to make the people who read it reply with "tell me more!!!"

well done

I know. I'm sorry. I have a screenshot if push comes to shove but I'm being vague on purpose for the privacy of those in my community.

No I totally get it. Is the implication that the monolith marks a human grave?

I don't think it's a grave just a memorial. Someone probably fell off the cliff or something.

I think it implies it's a cenotaph.

What?

...

Might as well delete that. Turns out this information is wrong. The sister later explained that she misread the coordinates which are nearby, but are not at the exact location of, the monolith.

I can no longer edit or delete my parent comment here.

So please explain..
