Heavy Timber ahead...

Why would he shoot a little old rock? It's not doing him any harm!

Just making sure that it's where it is supposed to be...

Set by E.A. Byler in 1905, right where it belongs!

Direct Supervision...

Yours truly supervising a check shot on CP-PASS (one of my original 1998 Primary Control Stations). The "Use of Deadly Force Fence" is about 8500 feet behind me.

So funny and so different.
I do recon on Google Earth and then on site to scope out IF (capital IF) I can use the GPS on the days job. It is so wonderful when it works but oh so frustrating when you choose wrong and cannot get that one tie you need because the trees are blocking. :excruciating:

How Many Dimples On That Rock ?

I notice he is not in the middle of the rock.

No dimples...chiseled X just as described by Byler in 1905.

Direct Supervision...

Loyal,

first time I see a yellow rod,
I always wondered why they made them only in black, when I had to search or follow the rod man in the bushes while I was the I-man.

thanks for sharing.

I used to lose the rodman all the time. I would make them tie on a bunch of pink flagging. It also didn't help the rodman liked to wear camouflage. :pissed:

Is all that white stuff in the sky the result of jet traffic?

Get that man a bipod! 🙂

Tie a flashing reflector, like bike riders wear, just below the prism; works greatB-)

None needed...

Matt doesn't smoke, drink, or chase wild women!

Besides which, if I NEEDED a position better than about a tenth, we wouldn't have been RTK'n it.

Did you witness the tree?

None needed...

Heavy Timber ahead

yuk, yuk, yucca?:-)

Wow! That country looks familiar!!

You wouldn't have flyboys buzzing you now and then would you.

That's what would happen when I spent 6 months very near (I suspect) where you are in the pictures. Lots of fun!!

MIGHTY

Not on this trip (maybe had to do with the partial "shutdown")

In the past it has been a different story. I have seen some things out there that don't exist, and lots of things that go fast, make lots of noise, and sometimes JAM GPS signals for a while.

The first time it happened to me we were driving in a wash, which were kind of the highway system out there, and a jet buzzed us so low you thought if their landing gear was down it would have clipped the top of the Bronco.

After skidding to a stop we watch the jet flare into the sky skim a mountain top and disappear, it looked like they were having a lot of fun. After 6 months of that happening about once a week I actually got to where it didn't bother me too much(getting used for virtual target practice).

Direct Supervision...

That is one happy supervisor.

I love my job too.
