Have you guessed yet? It's the place where the transcontinental railroad was finally completed at Promontory Summit, Utah. Back in the day all kinds of dignitaries and important people showed up for the ceremony. Governor Leland Stanford of California was given the honor of driving the last railroad tie into the ground. He swung... but he missed. The National Park Service runs the site now.
There's not a whole lot of people out here in northwestern Utah, but one other thing I noticed was a super duper top secret NASA rocket development facility out in the middle of nowhere. It was surrounded by a six foot barbed wire fence with scary no trespassing signs everywhere. I wonder what's going on in there.
