A Utah couple posted on Instagram that they carved names into rock wall at Lake Powell, and the internet is furious

A social-media post of a Utah couple’s October trip to Lake Powell — and the moment they carved their names into the rock near an arch formation — has drawn attention from people wanting the couple cited for vandalism.

The post, made Oct. 12 by Instagram user @aprildaisy_, shows a woman smiling at the camera while her significant other is facing a rock wall. The man is identified by his Instagram account, with the name Damion Sponbeck.

April’s message reads: “Cheers to tequila shots and fun times. @sponbeck29 Lake Powell was so much fun with you.
