Searched for dupes...  for about a second.  Obvious title will discourage further dupe-age.

...some snips, mostly pics of shitty hair salon type art on rocks....


This morning, our friend Rebecca at Calipidder alerted us via a Facebook post to a woman named Casey Nocket who had traveled to the west coast from New York for a few weeks. Ms. Nocket had been enjoying her time in the outdoors so much that she decided to document her trip on Instagram. And apparently Nocket was so moved by all the natural beauty she saw that she just had to paint all over it.

Modern Hiker brings you the story first.

Nocket’s painting on Death Valley’s Telescope Peak

Sadly, this is not a one-time thing. Nocket’s “work” has also been spotted (and Instagrammed) in Yosemite National Park and Crater Lake National Park, as well.


Near the Mist Trail in Yosemite National Park




Overlooking Crater Lake

According to her Instagram feed, Nocket has been traveling quite extensively – she has photos tagged from all over the West, including stops in Carrizo Plain National Monument, Sequoia, Bryce, Zion, Grand Staircase-Escalante, Grand Canyon, Canyonlands, Rocky Mountain and Joshua Tree National Parks – where just today rangers posted this photo of Barker Dam, which has been closed since last February due to vandalism. There’s no telling how many of these paintings she left.






In case you were wondering, no – the images aren’t chalk – they’re acrylic paint. And yes, she knows she shouldn’t be using it.



In either case, however, what Ms. Nocket is doing will not only get her some likes on Instagram, but will most likely result in a few felony vandalism charges once the Park Service catches up with her. And since, like most modern park vandals, she left a rich social media trail, it will likely only be a matter of time before that happens. Reddit already seems to be on the case.

Update: Looks like Nocket’s Instagram account is now set to “Private.” All photos with paintings and Instagram conversations here were screen-grabbed from her account on the morning of October 21st.

And yes, it also appears that she defaced Canyonlands and Zion on her trip. From her Tumblr blog:

Second Update:

A National Park Service Ranger is launching an investigation. Although she made her account private, I still had a window with it open and was able to get a few more images – including one defacement of The Ginn Mill in Denver, Colorado, another defacement somewhere tagged only as “the wilderness,” and a photo of her crawling over the existing, protected pictographs in Joshua Tree. All three are posted below.

Third Update: Hi, Redditors! Thank you for helping us make this story the national news it should be! If you live or like to hike in the southwest, consider subscribing to our site via RSS or even just signing up for our weekly mailing list. We like to keep up on news like this but we also like to give people ideas for new trails to hike and parks to visit so we can get more people outside. If we have more people out there who can appreciate the beauty of our wilderness for what it is, there will be fewer who feel like they literally need to leave their mark on it.

Arrest her and make her remove all the crap she drew and painted that defaced nature.

People go to parks to see nature's beauty, not some idiots version of art.   This woman is imposing her views on everyone else.

I was talking to my girlfriend the other day how the one thing you rarely see defaced is mother nature. Huh.

Don't fuck with natural parks like that! Respect nature for fucks sake.

I can't believe the level of stupid if those aren't photoshopped.



Defacement of protected National Forest / Park sites for 'art'?  Potentially destroying pre-Columbian pictographs for... what?



She needs to get hammered (legally) for every event, just like the doofuses that destroyed the standing rock forations and Youtubed it.

For the record, this chick doesn't seem to be making any new friends.


My GF works in the art world and there's universal condemnation (sounds vaguely UNish don't it? ).  Maybe academia will draw their own red line in the sand in regards to showing her work in a gallery.

Unfortunately, the "artist" will probably still get her 15 minutes.....

If it was her property, then she should have at it. Considering she did that to a national park without the permission of the taxpayers, who own and fund the park, is the big issue. What she did regardless if her art is great or not, is vandalism.

Got an email at work yesterday asking us to keep an eye out at any of our popular overlooks.  I looked around yesterday but didn't find anything.  From the looks of her posted pics, she isn't going too far from the roadway (lazy turd) but maybe I'll have an excuse to take a hike this afternoon.

I assume NPS criminal investigators will be taking the lead on this since it crosses several management regions.  

I must say I do get a tad excited by my measly vandalism cases.

That's kinda the whole point behind graffiti, it's leaving a identifiable name/image in as many places as possible.
