Why Did the Sundial Lose Its Numbers?

If you’ve visited the Battle Point Sundial recently, you’ll have noticed that the number decal marking the hours is missing. The numbers had faded almost to invisibility after 10 years (has it really been that long?) in the sun. Additionally, kids have scratched their names, initials, and worse into the painted surface with whatever hard implements they can find. We’ve removed the decal in preparation for repainting in the spring, when the weather improves. After painting, a new decal will be applied.
