This monument is a relatively new monument, which has apparently been defaced as I doubt that blue circle was part of the original design. It is located near the nose of Lookout Mountain. I lack a map to show you, but there were a few places near here to cross Lookout Creek, which was very important as Hooker needed to cross the creek before he could engage the Confederates on Lookout Mountain.
I believe Tyndale and Smith Hills are actually just out of the right of the frame. When we stopped here we were not positive which hill was which. This is the view looking west so Tyndale and Smith Hills would be on the right of the picture, and might be outside the frame unfortunately.

Hey Nick,
A knowledgeable member of my household identified the graffiti on the Hooker stone. It's the logo (reversed) of a shoe company - etnies (http://etnies.com/). Skater stuff.
Apparently Etnies pride themselves on an "underground" bad-boy buzz. They may, in fact distribute stencils of their logo either with shoes or at events.
How proud they must be that their marketing has reached such a location ...
My source also suggested the 'artist' is some kind of wannabe. We sneer at the poor technique, overspray, and lack of urban/public impact. Not to mention it's a commercial logo.
I hope it's been scrubbed off by now ...
Yeah I hope its been cleaned up too. What a shame what some morons think is cool to do.
