Additional information: This is a fake portal. Suspect that it was submitted to get a portal reachable from residence of submitter. The portal description is a lie. It states this was memorializing a recently replaced dead tree making it look like there was a 100 year old tree.
- There were no trees anywhere close to the is location before the development was built and nothing close to 100 years old.
- google street view has pictures from 2015 and 2022 (pictures attached). You can see the same tree, just 8 years more mature in the newer photo.
- I emailed Riverton city and they confirmed it was not legitimate. See attached emails.
The plaque itself is not permanent. Simply stuck in the ground.

Thanks for the appeal, @Yllwstn-ING. Due to insufficient evidence, we’re unable to take action on the Wayspot in question. If you have additional evidence to share like geotagged images/photospheres, please submit a new appeal with additional information and we’ll take another look.
