Upper Fish Creek Vandals

Anyone been in Upper Fish Creek lately? Was showing a buddy of mine the canyon for the first time and was greeted by this senseless BS!

This place is like a cathedral to me, holy, spiritual, special. I don't understand this mentality and I hope Karma smacks this POS hard! I know nothing can be done and this garbage will never be caught but if by chance you see something like this on Instagram or something report this filth.

I would love to go clean this up myself and tried to by rubbing sand and rocks against some of it but it was useless. I'm afraid those are probably here to stay. I hate this person with every fiber of my soul.

I believe @JaunJaimeiii had luck in Siphon Draw with a citrus based graffiti remover.

The non-profit group "Natural Restorations" has been doing a lot of graffiti removal and would be a source of information on what works well. They usually take on bigger projects but may be interested in this.

The Natural Restorations folks do good work. From my past interactions with them they would be interested in taking this on.

Yes, many morons in the world. Also you could contact one of the local caving grottos in Phoenix, CAG, members have done multi site clean ups usually using a wet sandblaster type thing but I am sure use other things. They have done multiple clean ups in Peppersauce, a loosing battle IMO, but a worthy one.
Check social media--- morons usually have to brag about what they have done in some way. While physical revenge not recommended of course, public shaming sometimes works at least temporary wonders.

Thanks all! I've dropped Natural Restorations an email and will update you if I hear back.

This works great: Citri-Strip at Home Depot
I believe it is what @JuanJaimeiii used on Siphon Draw.
