Post by: WAPITIHUNTER on November 04, 2009, 05:56:50 PM
Here are some pictures I took while on the job today.

It was a brushy crap hole. I was going to chop out up the creek and set the south property corner and as you can see...................I gave up when I hit the WALL!!!!

Neat pics. Those quail look like mountain quail especially with the dark sides and white along the upper wing tip on the back.

Yes those were mtn. quail. only second time I have seen them and both times were over north west of Purdy and  in Allyn. I think they are very cool looking birds.

That is the 1205 TCRP Robot. I love it. The 1203 newer one was better and faster tracked closer etc. until some *censored*es stole it. :bash: $42,000 just like that. :dunno:

This was last Saturday in Ashford. Snowing and raining all day. Watching elk hunters drive around while we worked really sucked.

Topcon IS Scan Station.

Those aren't sketches. Those are masterpieces! They stress us all the time to make very detailed sketches in our surveying classes. I'm no artist. I'll be taking the FE exam this spring and then the FLS exam next fall. If I get lucky I'll pass the FE. I heard the FLS wasn't too bad. Maybe I'll see ya in the future!

Thanks for the compliment! That's the difference between just doing land surveying and BEING A LAND SURVEYOR. Who do you work for down yonder?

We recently did a lot survey in Raymond. I thought it interesting how nobody showed anything on their surveys down there. So when we did ours we showed everything we found in the entire plat. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I'm still in school. Oregon State. I'll have a B.S. in Forest Engineering after this spring. Not too many surveyors down this way. I know of a few. Bluhm and Associates and an older couple that I believe are in the process of retiring.
