[...] ''Spiral Jetty,'' now watched over by the Dia Art Foundation, is about as remote as a sculpture can be within the contiguous United States. When Smithson found the site, the nearby shoreline was littered by an old pier, a couple of decaying prospectors' shacks and a few small, rusty oil rigs, to which he was not aesthetically averse. Those old shacks and rigs are mostly gone, leaving just dry desert and rocky nothingness until the nearest sign of civilization, 16 miles away, the Golden Spike Monument, where the east and west ends of the transcontinental railroad met up in 1869. To drive from the monument to the jetty is a long, bumpy ride on unmarked dirt and gravel roads through a wide valley that spills down to the lake. A small but steady flow of hopeful devotees make the trek each year, supplied at the monument with a crude map, a stiff warning to bring water and gas and instructions to let park rangers know if the sculpture is visible.

Therefore, the audio system can be adjusted to suit the preferences of multiple drivers and passengers, or simply to match the style of music being played.
