Park rangers for the Santa Monica Mountains are on the hunt for a “promposal” vandal, who scrawled a prom invitation on a rock near Sandstone Peak — the second year in a row the same message has appeared there.

Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area officials took to Twitter and Facebook on Thursday afternoon, sharing a picture of the rock with “Prom?” scrawled on it in white.

“We love hearing about creative promposals, but damaging public lands is not the way to do it,” a spokesman indentified only as “Ranger Zach” posted on the Facebook page.
