I REMEMBER them! Had that first album! But I think that post is actually for surveying purposes. Lots of places on the zone are monitored regularly for movement.Bill Ashton said:I think its even more interesting that some utility decided that was just the place to run their underground cable or gas line...whatever that white and orange post signifies!
