Recognize these disgusting goons? They’re the Redstone Trail vandals

Do you recognize these two disgusting goons? The National Park Service wants you to help track down these two clowns who allegedly toppled over natural rock formations on Lake Mead National Recreational Area’s Redstone Dune Trail. The Redstone Trail vandals did their work on the evening of Sunday, April 7, 2024. [Here’s a link to an article on wafb.com, which includes the disturbing video.]

Redstone Trail vandals cause irreparable damage

A video shows the two goons pushing chunks of sandstone off the edge of an outcropping as a girl screams, “Daddy, don’t fall!” The damage these clowns caused is irreparable.

“It’s one of my favorite places in the park and they’re up there just destroying it. I don’t understand that,” John Haynes, public information officer at Lake Mead National Recreation Area, told television station KVVU.

Felony charges could follow capture

If found, charged, and convicted, the two could be up on felony charges that come with potential fines and jail time. Information from visitors is often very helpful to investigators. If you were on the Redstone Dunes Trail on the evening of Sunday, April 7, 2024, or if you have information that could help identify the suspects, please submit a tip. “You don’t have to tell us who you are,” say Park Service officials, “but please tell us what you know: CALL the NPS-wide Tip Line 888-653-0009.”

Let’s round up the Redstone Trail vandals!

Russ and Tiña De Maris
Russ and Tiña went from childhood tent camping to RVing in the 1980s when the ground got too hard. They've been tutored in the ways of RVing (and RV repair) by a series of rigs, from truck campers, to a fifth-wheel, and several travel trailers. In addition to writing scores of articles on RVing topics, they've also taught college classes for folks new to RVing. They authored the book, RV Boondocking Basics.

And people wonder why BLM and NPS are thinking about closing or restricting sections of the lands they control.

If you put people in jail you won’t see this as much…..too afraid of hurting people’s feelings and yet it goes on….my way would be to cut a finger off…..then these ?!*&## would remember this is a Don’t moment….???

I saw this a little earlier this afternoon on a National news program, so hopefully it shouldn’t take too long to find those clowns and throw the book at them. Add child endangerment charges to them too!

Thank you, Russ and Tina! No, sorry, I wasn’t there (wherever “there” is) and, consequently, saw nothing. Perhaps someone who reads this was there and did see something helpful. Meanwhile, thanks again and safe travels! 🙂

You can hear the little girl saying Daddy don’t fall. So, I would assume that the person filming this is her mother, the wife of one of the guys. I would assume also that the mother is the one who posted this from her phone. You would think the Feds would, could, should know who this is by now. Since they are probably still on “vacation”, just wait at their home and arrest them when they arrive.

100%, Dave. These so-called adults deserve everything that they have coming, including the filmer.

This is how many idiots get caught. They post stupid stuff on the web – and shockingly, get caught.

Video was taken by a 3rd party from a distance who were afraid of confrontation.

Hi, Chad. I just Googled it and it doesn’t look like they’ve been “caught” yet. I can’t believe someone hasn’t turned them in by now. Have a good night. 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
