Yeah, the rock is porous and the paint may have penetrated deep... cleaning would mean eroding that part of the cliff to excessive depth compared to the rest.

After the event, now that some shell-suited chimp has done a paint-wank on the cliffs, the least bad option is to clean it up. Scrub it clean, preferably with the little scrotes face.

The rest is just a question of taste.
That's the POINT !!
Stone-age art is very old and very rare. People were very rare in the stone-age. And we have very little of their art.
People are in their billions now, and shit-art is on everything you buy, and on concrete walls everywhere.

It's not just a question of taste, it's a question of sheer quantity, of stuff that anyone can do.
If I want to look at shit-art, I can look at my packet of nibbles, or any old concrete wall.
Don't want it on some stunningly beautiful cliffs.

I would just get some more spray cans of cliff-coloured paint, and go over it. No need to scrub it off.
I might do that this summer, if it's still there.

So do that and quit bitching.

I would have thrown the dirt bag off that cliff.

I painted a guy that was painting my garage in San Diego. Sent him off wearing red paint and jack shit otherwise. His clothes were on the ground (and on fire) so he didn't want them.

I like bitching. And it ain't summer yet.

Cliffs are too cold and windy in winter. And so am I.
In the meantime, I'll happily bitch about shit-art plastered on a beautiful bit of nature.

The reason? There is very little man-made art that can compare to the cliffs. Fuck-all, in fact.

Graffiti force closure of Joshua Tree park sites

JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. — Acts of graffiti have become so pervasive at Joshua Tree National Park's most popular hiking spots that officials have had to close them to the public, and they blame the big bump in vandalism on social media.

Rangers said they've found graffiti spray painted on 17 sites, including the famous rock formations and historic Native American sites, at the Southern California park's Rattlesnake Canyon. They put historic Barker Dam off limits after vandals carved their names into the cement of the Old West landmark.

National Parks officials said the graffiti started with just a few markings, but quickly spread. They blame vandals who posted pictures of their handiwork on social media sites such as Facebook, which enticed others to the same spot and leave their own illicit marks.

"I've worked at six national parks, and this is the most extensive I've seen in 20 years," ranger Pat Pilcher told reporters this week during a tour of some of the damage.

For visitors who cherish the isolation of this harsh desert terrain about 140 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, the graffiti are an unwelcome reminder of city blight.

"You kind of feel like you're alone. In ancient times. There's nothing like this place," Butch Wood, 51, a visitor from North Aurora, Ill. Told the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/12TCNU8). "You don't like to see the modern world intruding on history. It's a shame."

Pilcher said park service law enforcement officers are investigating the vandalism. If caught and convicted, vandals could face up to $5,000 in fines and six months in jail. He said the penalty could be stiffer for those convicted of defacing a historic Native American site.

Meanwhile, the San Bernardino County Sun reports ( http://bit.ly/ZTjZN6) that officials are closing 308 acres of the canyon until April 30 while volunteers from the Urban School of San Francisco help scrub the graffiti off the giant granite boulders.

It wasn't clear how the park service will repair the damage at Barker Dam.
