Default Here's something to get your blood boiling

My wife and I took a trip up the Columbia gorge and returned home along the old scenic highway. We came to Vista House which is in the process of a major restoration project.Restoring the old scenic stone building, was built in 1917, back to it's original condition. I believe President Woodrow Wilson was at the original dedication. Anyone familiar with it know that it offers a breathtaking view of one of the most beautiful places on earth...the Columbia River Gorge.
Apparently someone with a can of spray paint decided to "tag" Vista House with some gang graffiti [img]graemlins/berry.gif[/img]
I am at a loss to understand the mentality of a vandal :depressed: Sadly we have seen this too many times though.

We drove up there last summer. Talk about an awesome view!!!
Made me think back to what it must have looked like when they first built it. None of the houses or I-84 down below. Must have been quite the sight.
