Talk:Sandy Pond (Wareham, Massachusetts)

- This is a bizarre pond. The image of this pond is not visible on Google's, Mapquest's, or Yahoo's global positioning but is visible on WikiMapia's global positioning. I'll travel to this area on Friday, 26 October 2007 to verify that this pond is indeed there. Ed 03:10, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I drove down to Wareham. The pond does exist. This does not, however, explain why the pond does not show up on the aforementioned global positioning services. Ed 18:05, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
