> And logistically, it would be far easier to transport to a remote location via helicopter if it wasn't solid. Cue reddit researchers combing through old helicopter flight plans/paths from the relevant time frame? Though I would have thought an off road vehicle might be more likely; looks like it's only about 2-3 miles from the nearest road. Edit: actually there appears to be a dirt road ~1k feet or less away

I didn't realize it was so close to a road. I'd really like to think it came in via helicopter though, because it's a more cool and clandestine story.

The road is Lockhart Basin Road, well-known among Utah off-roaders. I've been there, and also camped on one of the fingers of Hatch Point, directly above the monolith. I took this one on the point overlooking the monolith: https://www.instagram.com/p/BUFR5GZF2fX/?igshid=11nr2ljs2dh67 https://www.instagram.com/p/BUFR5GZF2fX/?igshid=11nr2ljs2dh6... I took this photo not too far from the monolith: https://flic.kr/p/8MWSQp https://flic.kr/p/8MWSQp
