I did some research on this and sometime after 1980, the land was given to the county.
"On March 22, 1980, the monument was unveiled before an audience variously described as 100[7] or 400 people.[2] Christian later transferred ownership of the land and the guidestones to Elbert County."
Christian screwed up by giving the land to the county. They, then, had every right in the world to tear them down. Makes you wonder why they didn't tear them down the minute they got the property.
Likely include as part of the deed, as in " I hereby make this donation of land contingent on keeping the stones in place and on not revealing the donor. If these provisions are violated the county consents to surrender the land to X." Just speculating, but some grants are done like that.
I believe Christian's (Kersten) intended purpose was to bequeath the land to the county because it was the most long-lived entity he could find so that the stones would last in perpetuity.

Yes, glad they are gone...

Well, the county was able to come in and tear the rest of it down this afternoon, so....??
But there's always an Act of God clause...
