This is a fake wayspot [Edit].

The photo was stolen from a website for a hiking trail in upstate New York over 300 miles away.

By comparing the wayspot photo with satellite view, you can also see that the two areas do not match. The wayspot photo is clearly in a deciduous forest and does not match the vegetation in Pickering, Ontario (which is on private property at a wastewater treatment facility).

The streetview of the wayspot also shows the locations don’t match

And here are some recent photos of the area surrounding the fake wayspot (taken from the walking path on the south side of the water treatment facility).

Please remove the fake wayspot and deal with the offending player accordingly.

Was this for another post? Clearly it doesn’t pertain to this thread about a fake nomination.

Actually sorry, I might have misinterpreted the part about private property so I’ll amend what I have written above.

Thanks, it was just a little confusing so I thought it might have gone on another post. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for the appeal, @GCOneSixtyOne. After reviewing the additional evidence provided, we’ve decided to retire the Wayspot in question.
