Island WiFi access

I do not know if anyone can answer this, but we were on rattlesnake this weekend and I use a tethered link to my Blackberry to access the internet.

While I was online, a "free Wifi Access Point" (that was the label on the connection) become active. I did not link to it, but I have a hand held WiFi signal strength meter and I was able to see that the signal was very strong on the island. The only other information I could get from it was that it was a peer to peer connection and that it was unsecured.

Does anyone know if this is a usable free link and if so, where it may be coming from? I know it may be a long shot that anyone will know about this, but I thought I would ask the forum.
