I think writing something on a cave wall of any type is about the most ignorant form of expression there is, other than maybe cow tipping.
Fingerprints and eyewitness evidence is great on TV but it is never that easy in the real world. A thorough investigation encompasses much more and as Forrest alluded to, when presented with the evidence, good people who make stupid mistakes generally take responsibility for what they did. I am sure this is not a case of "let's go get so and so in trouble" The other side of this is this damage can be repaired and in a year or two the flow will clean the rest of it up. Thank goodness it is not a clay bank that took a lot of time to form. As Ken said, this is already being tended to and I am pretty sure the outcome here will be much more smooth than Cow because of what has already been done in that case.
