Looks interesting, unfortunately we are already going down to WA later this month.
I have been thinking about it, just so busy though

It was real close to me last year in Mobile and I regret not making it for even one day. Too much going on at the time even though it was only a two hour drive.
These folks that are keeping the flame alit of the historical surveyors and surveying are vital to the profession.

It was a great Rendezvous with interesting field trips, presentations and I got to meet up with some great people. It was nice to get to talk with you Scott!
Wish I could. I had no idea these things had so much educational content as well as the fun stuff.

Heading out to restore some damaged monuments
Each team was tasked with finding a specific monument and placing a concrete collar around it. We were given a small bucket of concrete mix, a couple of bottles of water and a second bucket for mixing. After some over-zealous excavation, we realized we wouldnÛªt have enough concrete to complete the job but a little field engineering involving a Swiss army knife and a sacrificed bucket solved the problem.

Sorry I had to miss this one; would've been great to see old friends again..:'(
Looks like you all had great weather. Please don't tell anyone else; we're trying to keep it a secret....:angel:
New York State looks like fun! I might start saving up for that one. Ain't never been there; is it nice? Will I get to meet the modern day Colvin Crew?
