May 26 (UPI) -- Park Rangers in California's Santa Monica Mountains have a message for amorous high schoolers: Stop defacing National Parks for promposals.

The Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area posted a photo to Facebook of a rock bearing a gigantic one-word message in white spray paint: "Prom?"

The post, authored by "Ranger Zach," said the promposal wasn't even original -- a near-identical piece of graffiti was cleaned from a rock in the same area last year.

"We love hearing about creative promposals, but damaging public lands is not the way to do it. For the second year in a row, the same graffiti message has been scrawled on a rock near Sandstone Peak," the Facebook post said.
