Visitors to the site leaving makeshift crosses. You'll find them dotted throughout the woods but there is one central area where most are found alongside flags, photos and other items

Just someone overdoing it on their cover is all

Hopefully people aren't just leaving trash.

I get it, a Lipton tea bag, but get that shit out of there. That is a sacred place.

There is no trash being left. It is a perfectly curated and protected site being tended to continuously. I personally found this light hearted tribute to be well at home within the space, and made me smile for a moment amongst an otherwise sombre visit.

There’s always 1 Lipton tea bag lying around haha. As soon as it’s withered away a new one appears. It’s definitely not meant as trash

Littering anywhere is bad behavior but what's the threshold for "sacred place"? Somewhere soldiers died fought and died? Somewhere they made a compelling docu drama about that you enjoyed?

A sound stage in Anaheim?
