Personally, I wonder if there's anything interesting or interactive on the top.

eg: Buttons? display? big red button? wifi password? :>

None of the photos or video seems to have looked there yet. ;)




There is a hunk of metal with a wifi password on it elsewhere in the Utah Desert - south of Green River, there is a place called "Crystal Geyser" - a curiosity from an old drilling site where they ended up hitting a spot that became a man-made geyser that sprays mineral water up on a regular basis. (Or used to... people have been throwing rocks into it over the years so it is not so impressive anymore.)

In any case, there is a little monument there with a wifi password and a solar panel. If you sit next to it on a sunny day, there is enough power to run the wifi and a web server which will give you some basic historical and geological info on the place.
