What the F.............

[NE_Utah]

I have not been to Moab for a while. I was looking on photobucket at Moad pictures and ran across this. It pissed me off to see all the junk that has been dump on the grave. For the 15 years I have been going to Moab have never seen anything dumped on the grave on Poison Spider.

Does anyone clean it up or is it going to get worse? If it has been cleaned up thank you? Lke I said I have not been to Moab fo awhile.

I took a pic of it to when I was down in june.

Thats is a sad sight

I'm gonna drive down there and get me some money and free stuff in the name of "trail cleanup"! Why do people litter in the name of remembrance of the dead? I would totally "clean" that place up! I could get half a burrito at la hacienda!

While the thought of La Hacienda gives me the warm fuzzies, the trashing of Mary Jane's is REALLY LAME! I don't know when we'll be down there next, other wise I would be all over going and cleaning it up. I think the fire pit should be dismantled as well.

Someone should take all that change and donate it to the BRC for Moab Law stuff. That's a way to remember someone. Keep the trail clean.

I used to consider myself to be pretty knowledgable about Moab and it trails and have done Poison Spider about a dozen times, but for the life of me I can't place where on Poison Spider this grave is located. Can anyone provide more info?

Also, does anyone know Mary Jane's story?

It's somwhere on top of the mesa before the trail splits off to Golden Spike is all I know.

Desecration?? For Christians maybe?. But what if she was Egyptian and needs stuff for her afterlife?? There is no doubt CD's, batteries and a purse to carry it all could come in handy? She's even got a Wally world gift card and cash money to go get the one thing that's missing..... A CD player!!

It's called hippies thinking that leaving "trash" at a burial site is cool.

 

[Tacoma]

F'ing hippies. I'd like to shoot them all in the face! Twice.

Mary Jane Francis, 13, died here from a poison spider bite in 1896, which is how the trail got its name...or so the story goes.

I've never heard if it is authentic or not... seems it is debated every couple of years.

The rock doesn't seem to have weathered much at all on the name........which makes me think that it's not that old (IE, fake)

 

[NE_Utah]

That rock has been like that since i had been going down. I cannot remeber the first time i was on that trail but it was on a motorbike in the late 80s with family.

Man that was a sweet bike. It was a 80cc, I think

The grave is just before the high spped track as they use to call it. it is on top of the hill before you drop back down into the split for gold bar.

What is it on there with marker? How old are the petroglyphs that you've looked at?

Huh? Looks like someone had just scratched that into the rock and not that long ago. Doesn't seem very weathered to me. Just my opinion.
