Wooo HOO! I am now the proud owner of a brand spanking new manual!! I will e the envy of Colonial Surveyors everywhere!!
thanks Radar!!
What are you going to do with it? It's too big to make a good coaster?
Well, besides using it to strengthen my arms, I will be studying it and finding ways ti implement some of the processes in Colonial lands. Not necessarily sections/townships/ranges, but some of the thought behind the processes.
We are not all that much different, just that PLSS like semi-squares and we like metes and bounds!
You're welcome!
Wow, that was quick, I sent it out on Tuesday. The good ol' USPS has still got it!

You should come out and watch the Red Soxx game with Angelo...;-)
I would love to spend the afternoon talking surveing with a Colonial Surveyor..:-D
I think if you buy a big block of seats you get a discount....:clap:

I'm not into baseball enough to travel for it. I plan on using a airline voucher to visit the great North west, though. Within the year I think!
I was always told the PLSS was just another layer to deal with. Once you get the major stuff solved the minor stuff is the same as our standard subdivisions.
All I can say is good luck implementing. We have a hard enough time getting surveyors to abide by the rules in place now. (Deleted entry, starting new thread)
> I'm not into baseball enough to travel for it.
That's a first for me, I can't say that I've ever met someone from your area, that wasn't a devoted Red Soxx Fan....;-)
If you decide to come out we could get JB Stahl and Larry Phipps to show up too, each pay them a dollar each and start tracking PDH's....:-D
Cheers,
Dugger
I will give you $25.00 for it. You will be better off in the long run not to even think about applying the manual in the east.
Venue for this is Ray's right? Just tell me when! 😉
When is one of you going to scan the thing and put it up on the internet like all of the previous versions?
I purchased the manual for the exam. Havent touched it since.
I enjoyed the first chapters dealing with the history of the public lands.
Ummm...that's about all I remember...that and double proportionate something-or-other...

You didn't purchase it for the MA exam did you?
There is a digital version floating around but an official version is supposed to be on the way from BLM. There is supposedly some copyright issues but everybody I talk to think that the information is all public domain even for the information provided by some of the contributing authors. Maybe your local BLM office will know. I wonder how much BLM/ACSM will charge for a digital version? Hopefully not like the $125 they originally sold the hard back version for.
