    Fun with editing waymarks

    I have a saved search near my house.  I am modifying it to search state-by-state for waymarks.  I turned up two waymarks listed as being in Alabama (hint: I do not live within 100 miles of Alabama).  I also discovered the Washington Monument listed as being in Virginia.   I am then submitting corrections.  This new feature seems to satisfy something in my inner obsessive-compulsieve.

    I went into Alabama waymarks right after the new functionality was released and recommended changes to 15-20 waymarks which were actually located in other states.  This was a result of when state defaulted to Alabama.  There were several more there to be done.

    I have reviewed all Alabama waymarks and if all the edits are accepted Alabama will be losing about 50 waymarks.
