I thought there was a ‘strange things on Google maps’ thread but I couldn’t find it. Anyway, they’ve probably updated since then so… Helping a friend find a Planet Fitness near him, I found this strange graffiti (?) on top of a building in a strip mall. (Sorry, I couldn’t figure out how to link to it, but put in ‘Planet Fitness Derry, NH’ in Google Maps and zoom in. What other weird things have you seen lately? ---

Is it supposed to be at the Planet Fitness itself?

> [@squeegee](#): > > Here you go. Not sure if he was “BARE” or “RARE”. Interesting, my view is a bit different: [![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/gs-geo-images/e233727b-1511-4528-8af8-f7bacd15c0f1_l.png) ](https://s3.amazonaws.com/gs-geo-images/e233727b-1511-4528-8af8-f7bacd15c0f1_l.png) “HERE” is a little clearer. ---

Today I was reading about a [CIA plane crash in Death Valley National Park](https://www.sfgate.com/california-parks/article/cia-spy-plane-crash-death-valley-19974450.php) that occured in 1952. The plane - an SA-16 Albatross - is still there, and people occasionally hike to it. I paraused a number of articles on it, but couldn’t find one that provided the lattitude & longitude of the crash site. Based on some descriptions on how to hike to it, I _finally_ found it on Google Maps after quite a bit of searching: 36.41009574741432, -117.32397342468529 36°24’36.3"N 117°19’26.3"W ---

I applaud your dedication. That is a needle in a haystack. Nice work! And cool story.
