Everywhere I go, there are signs which say, take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints. And yet, I find these rock cairns everywhere. The park rangers knock them down regularly, because they interfere with (among other things) the lizards environment and their habitations. Why then do people persist in building them? Leaving a mark, however temporary? I acknowledge the skill and time it takes to build them. Getting the balance right is damned tricky, but ,,,,, do the ranger's and parks administration admonitions mean nothing?
Cape Naturaliste, near Castle Rock. On my travels.

Awfully tired of the work-grind... Who wants to go and stack rocks while wandering on a foggy beach?

I hate seeing these stupid rock stacks. So does the NPS apparently.

I’ve seen a few ~aesthetic~ photos of rock stacks in rivers recently and this is just a reminder that you are destroying habitat when you move rocks around in rivers and streams.
In addition to dragonfly nymphs, rocky river beds are home to lots of other larval invertebrates like damselflies, mayflies, water beetles, caddisflies, stoneflies, and a bunch of dipterans. Not to mention lots of fish and amphibians!
Plus large scale rock stacking can change the flow of a stream and lead to increased erosion.
Anyway dragonfly for admiration:

cairns
last night i dreamt i was at a gathering, perhaps a party, i may have even been the host. it was filled with people i would have recognized on the street, but we had never been close, never spoken much, if any at all
made up of people unaccustomed to one another's company, it was quiet gathering, so i felt compelled to do a trick i had been practicing but hadn't mastered yet. i walked towards one wall of the room and slowly and awkwardly up the wall. when i reached the ceiling, i steeled myself against a rising fear, and i stepped onto the ceiling and walked, upside down, slowly to the center of the room
no one appeared to notice, or maybe out of embarrassment for me, for themselves, for this awkward gathering as a whole, they pretended not to notice.
then i felt my feet start to slip and i was falling head first towards the floor and i woke up

Mouse's Ways to Witch#4: Rock-stacks and trail markers (“cairns”) are an ancient practice and can even be spiritual to some people. However, rock-stacks made out of and in the way of a running creek should be immediately kicked down or never made in the first place. River and creek stones are homes (sometimes NESTS) to many aquatic animals and moving or removing them can ruin ecosystems. Please make cairns on your own property with your own rocks and remember to stack responsibly!
