Maybe I could set the record for doing it with a GPS pole, and driving ONE HANDED!

The guy that broke the record was named Danny Adams. I wonder if the guy following behind with the GPS pole was named......adamsurveyor...?

NOPE...

His name is Taylor Hathcock.

A good kid, and a great "corner sniffer-out-er."

Good guess though!

Why not change the two flats instead, Derek?

Derek:

I believe it's assumed that if you set surveyors's employees to nearly any task you will get some Rube Goldberg solutions. In this case, why in the world didn't someone just suggest changing the two flats on the ATV instead of learning to drive on two good tires. Should we assume that driving on only one tire is the logical next step here?

But that would require purchasing two new tires and, well, we are Surveyors after all, world-famous cheapskates.
