Monolith and Shrek’s Hut

In November 2020, a metal monolith was discovered in the Utah desert by state biologists. It had been there since at least 2016. Days later, monoliths appeared in Romania, and later, California, of similar construction. By now, there are over a hundred around the world. This one was discovered on December 12. It sits next to Shrek’s Hut, on the Green Mountain Trails behind Riverside Farm in Pittsfield, VT.

The trails themselves are used for mountain biking, hiking, and snowshoeing, depending on the season. My parents and I hiked up with microspikes since the snow was shallow. It’s a nice spot with an excellent view and I hope to come back someday, monolith or not.
