   Officials 'found it' by accident...way out there in the   
   boonies...where nobody travels by.   
      
   Staged 'stunt' by who...state, those who 'found it,' business folks,   
   or somebody else.   
      
   Is State of Utah, and/or businesses within looking for more tourist   
   dollars?   
      
   "In 2019, travelers directly spent a record $10.06 billion in Utah,   
   generating an estimated 141,500 total Utah jobs, and $1.34 billion in   
   state and local tax revenue.Sep 4, 2020"   
      
   I'd say tourist revenue is way down these days.  Business folks have   
   done other pranks, for the bucks.
