Hello from Arkansas
Per Dan Robisons request I would like to introduce myself.
My name is Daniel and I’m 25 years old. I’m from the unique town of Paragould, Arkansas. It’s just about an hour and a half NW from Memphis. I work for my fathers business. He’s been in buisness since 1992. We specialize in boundary surveys in our area.
I believe I started to tag along on the survey crew at a young age of 7 or 8 years old during the summer months. I was the designated water boy. Everywhere I went the water jug went. I was running a total station for for the crew at about 15 and became party chief at 18 years old.
I would say my favorite part of surveying would be retracing GLO retracement surveys from the early 1900s. There was surveyor who didn’t want to get his feet wet and drew up a lot of maps in his tent when the original surveyors came through NE Arkansas. So it was resurveyed in the early 1900s. So finding those beautiful brass caps bring joy to me. Speaking of finding them… The highlight would have to be summer of 2010. My dad and me finding the SW corner of the boot heal of Missouri. buried about 3 feet below the ground and broke into 3 parts. The main shaft being vertical and intact. It was on an island in the St. Francis River. Pretty cool stuff.
And more about me. My number one goal is getting the LSIT passed in the next six months. I can honestly say this forum is a big help. I’ve learned tons from it. Especially from the GPS talk. Everything I’ve learned about SPC came from this forum. Y’all have been a big help. Thanks
Daniel.
