Beacon Rock No Longer A Beacon?

This is a shame. This geologic wonder is a short drive from the metro area, a great place for a family hike, and a seasonal climbing hot spot. My family and I have ascended this volcanic neck numerous times, gaining great vistas from it's peak and absorbing the history of the surroundings. Lewis and Clark were awestruck my this monolith as well, and to consider it being mothballed saddens me deeply. Perhaps private industry could be hired to manage this natural wonder?
