If you're ever in the area its worth making a little detour to check out this 'ghost town'. The old high school is especially cool, you can walk on the football field with bleachers around and its so quiet and creepy, reminds me of the walking dead sort of. They do have a sheriffs station in the town though but all of the times I have been I have never been bothered by anyone. A few people refused the buyout by the US Government and still live in the town...
pretty easy hike down since its all downhill, hiking back up kinda sucks as it has its steep points Be careful around the hole itself as there have been people that have fallen and have gotten seriously injured in the past.
Went there in March of 2015, no water running but the guy next door came out while we were taking photos and talked to us about the piece! Also if you look to your left while looking at shit fountain you will see a spiral ladder shooting into the air from one of the building tops also made by the same artist!
