Devils Tower Voluntary June Closure: What are your thoughts?

. . .

Seems as if this thread is dying, as it should.

Folks such as Dingus Mcgee are the only ones bringing in anything relevant.

This is completely false. There are many documented artifacts and sites on the shoulders of the tower and near the tower within the monument. These are not advertised to the general public for the same reasons described above, and many of these sites were discovered .

after the climbing management plan was enacted

I find the European mentality of needing artifacts in order to confer cultural/spiritual importance to a certain place odd.
Perhaps the natives had a different mindset?

Would you leave trash at a place of spiritual importance to you?

Interesting debate going on
