I can't make any sense of the lettering on the monument, perhaps it's logical to the designer, perhaps it's part of the wording of some significant document, who knows. The monument is built from the various materials Hoban worked with during his career and is quite an eye-catcher as you drive along that road. The Canon shots were taken a year ago, just after the monument was completed, the Pentax ones just yesterday.
