The Sad Death of a Pond

As seen on the map below, 
this pond was surrounded by homes,
and was part of the now-closed 
Carmel Mountain Ranch golf course.



The pond is now a mess, choked with reeds, 
overgrown with weeds and abandoned.

It's an eyesore, and no doubt a hazard.


 There were no signs telling about it, 
warning us to stay out,
or promising future restoration.
