Surveyed interior CT (Waterbury area if any of youse are familiar with CT). Was at elevation 455' according to the GPS.....for a guy who surveys at elevation <100', it was no wonder why I was having a hard time breathing 😉 o.O
What the average elevation you survey in?
It has ranged from Sea Level (Alaska) to 12-13 thousand feet in the Great Basin.
If I added up all the field days over the last 46 years, I would guess that the average elevation would be ~6000-7000 feet or so.
The last couple of years have averaged about 8-9 thousand feet in the Wasatch Mountains not far from home.
Home (my desk) is ~7100 NAVD88.

2000'± and +/-300'
Now retired, but according to dozens of OPUS solutions, the 1000 foot contour line runs through the SE corner of my lot.
Wish I could post a photo from my iPhone. I just took a picture of a sign this morning on my hiking trip in NC at the Eastern Continental Divide 2694 feet.
I typically survey around 700 to 900 in central Indiana.
Office is at 1050. Lowest would be roughly 730 I think. Highest is maybe 1200. Lowest flood elevation for the county seat is 880.
Where about Brad??
Western NC?
Doing the Appalachian Trail?
Carver's Gap?
Rhone Mountain. Mt. Mitchell?
Been all over those places.
It ain't good if you're the I-man - which I always was.
Never mind should you care to have some lunch.
The truck was often a couple miles away.
Transylvania County NC.
Looking Glass Rock. 3968 feet.
Beautiful.
I know it well!!
Done lots of work there in not so pleasant places (ie carry all my stuff up that "little" cliff).
Find a "little" spot called Tuckasegee. Lots of good waterfalls and beautiful scenery but dam nasty surveying territory.
Rare for me to be above 100.
I was between 50 and 200 today. I rarely get above 600.
In Washington state, you can go from sea level to 14,411 in 24 hours.(You'll have to walk the last 9,000 feet or so) You can go from rain forest to true desert. In 10 hours.

About 450 on the surface and -550 in the mine.
In the gently rolling hills of Northeast Mississippi, we range between 300' to 500' above MSL.
I live about a .5 mile west of the eastern CD. I live on the head waters of Crab Creek (actually a paved ditch in my subdivision) that flows to the New River then flows north to WV and merges with the Gauley to form the Kanawha River. The Kanawha flows into the Ohio River at Point Pleasant, WV and then to the Mississippi and then the Gulf of Mexico. Everything east of the CD here flows to either the North Fork or the South Fork of the Roanoke River. The Roanoke then flows through VA and NC and feeds into the Albemarle Sound of the Atlantic.
I have been negative a few times and never over a thousand, set a hub at 997 but that is about it for height. Usually 160-340, I think.
-60 FT to +1776 FT in less than two minutes.
-60 FT to +1776 FT without an elevator might take days...
Surveying between 0' to 60' NAVD 1988. Average about 12'. Office is 14' and house is 39'. Joe no problem breathing here.
Office is at 6900.
Never worked above 12500'.
The nearest USC&GS bench mark a few blocks away rounds up to the nearest foot at 1234.
Bunch of highlanders. Anything above the 30's is unusual. When I worked in South Florida, anything not single digit was unusual. Not made many Sea Level corrections for coordinates.
