Hi explorers,
My appeal was rejected with the comment “the location of the nomination does not match the photo and/or map.” However, the pin is exactly where it should be. I’m sharing some visual evidence so you can see it clearly:
In the first image (satellite view), I marked the references with colors:
Blue: the house visible at the top.
Green: the adjacent land.
Red: the start of the trail, where I placed the pin.
In the second image, I also marked the same house, land, and the start of the trail using the same colors. In the third photo, I only stepped a bit farther back, but it’s clearly the same trail — and if there’s any doubt, the rocks marked in pink are the same in both pictures.
This is a local trail that doesn’t have any signs because the community already knows it well. It’s frequently used for walking, running, reaching a natural spring, visiting the “Moon Stone,” and accessing some old, unused train tracks.
Could you please advise how I can improve the evidence or presentation to avoid this kind of confusion in future nominations?
Thanks for your time and support!
