Arches Balanced Rock Toppled!

Okay, maybe not. But whoever created the vinyl wrap on these rental RV's seems to think it wouldn't be a big deal. Thanks to Mike Jones for the photo. Here's a bunch of links to his stuff so hopefully he won't mind that this was reposted here (via FB).

it must have been in the way of the logo

or maybe they did it because they were worried that it might fall on some innocent children. It was a public service.

In this day and age I almost believed it. Do it for the children!

In all seriousness... I've often wondered how long that rock has got left before it falls? Any geologist types able to offer up a guess?!

Saw that on Flickr, Interesting graphics choice.

Why not choose another skyline?

I saw one of these RV's on the interstate today and was trying to picture where in Arches it was. Now I know!

Interestingly enough, the Cobra at Fisher Towers has toppled. Tower Arch lost a flake too.

Wow -- I was just at Fisher Towers on Friday. And, NO -- I didn't do it!

Actually... not sure if it was still standing or not as I didn't notice. I think it was off the main trail if I remember correctly. Will need to take a closer look at my photos.
