Post by: Somamech on July 22, 2013, 08:45:42 PM
Feel free to add what you saw when Pegasus wandered around on random travels :D

Post One:

Well this is a 'Normal Land' according to Wikipedia but the Winged Horse thought more of it  ;D

Palmyra Atoll

Intrigue abounds:

QuotePalmyra Atoll /pæl?ma?r?/ is an unoccupied equatorial Northern Pacific atoll administered as an unorganized incorporated territory by the United States federal government. The variable temporary population of 4–20 "non-occupants" are staff and scientists employed by various departments of the US government and The Nature Conservancy,[2] as well as a rotating mix of Palmyra Atoll Research Consortium[3] scholars pursuing research.

Sorry someone on another unrelated board mentioned this place... Obviously it's not on everyone's radar. 

Never even heard of this little insignificant island before :O

Further Comment :D

QuoteLet's collect the cash to buy Palmyra Atoll from the States.
They'd love to unload it.
::) ;D
