Cruise ship passengers and boaters will not only be treated to glacier and mountain views during the run up the Lynn Canal toward Haines, but also orange expletive graffiti on the side of a cliff.
Alaska Parks Ranger Travis Russell recently began investigating orange graffiti spray- painted along a cliff and boulder at Seduction Point. John Svenson took photos of the vandalized area after beer fest weekend and reported it to law enforcement. The spray paint spells out three names, Cody, Joe and Hunt. An expletive is also painted on a boulder near the beach.
Russell said he plans to remove the paint, but doesn’t know when. “I don’t have a time frame because we don’t have a saltwater boat here anymore and my crew is focused on other projects,” Russell said. “We just finished up clearing the blown-down trees on Seduction Point Trail about two weeks ago, so it will be a while before we are back out on the trail.”
The graffiti is easily decipherable from the water, Svenson said.
