this wasn't the most exciting survey project i've ever done, but we engineered this too. having grown up 2 miles from the beach, and having been landlocked for the last 25, this is gonna be a cool new way to waste some $ and time in the future.
originally did the topo/design on the raw 160 acres. about 60 acres of the thickest mesquite i've ever seen. still picking thorns out here and there two years later.
Ok, thats kinda kool, but I'm more of a 5 mile long circular shaded lazy river with occasional bar filled lagoons kinda guy.

oh, there's definitely a time and place for that too. if nothing else i want some payoff for shooting it- 3 weeks of july topo, couldn't hardly take a step without something biting. whether it be mesquite, jumping cactus, holly, or the bull that was still out there. interesting is that there were hardly any snakes, think i only saw two the whole time. couple bobcats, a decent number of coyotes, a TON of rabbits, and about a half-dozen caracaras. most of them are gone, but the caracaras have stuck around in what they didn't cut out.
just found this pic i took out there. this was, seriously, about an every-10-minutes exercise for 3 weeks.

If we had mean green bugs like that in these parts, I'd get an office job.;)
Is that what you called a jumping cactus?
Well, yeah. Gotta a feeling I'm about to be corrected, but they certainly fit the bill. Just get within a couple paces and look at the damn thing and you're covered. Remember making my kids pull thorns out of my leg days after being out there- you could get like 50 at a time with a pair of tweezers. (Great lesson for the kids when I come home to them fighting over the tv remote.)
I absolutely hate those cactus!
