Apparently the dozer operator didn't get the message. I guess there is one maple left 500' away. A little too far for leach field ties.



looks like a good place for an erosion control company to drop off a few business cards
Jeepers Perry, that is one efficient dozer operator. I hope the company below wasn't hired to do light clearing and grubbing work. I hear they are a bit over-enthusiastic…

I smell diesel and cold topsoil...yummy..smells like money.

yeah, the other operator apologized for nuking the trees but at least lent me some grade stakes to pound in for BM's. I had hike up a 200 yard muddy mountain of bulldozed mud with all my equipment so was just glad to be able to finish the job and get back to boil sap.
Still have your poster of the Hogsback Oatmeal stout on the wall.
All you had to do was.......................
All you had to do was shoot the elevation of the drop hitch on your big ol' survey truck then leave it on site for them to use as the BM. Just the hitch, not the whole truck. That would be overkill.

Cool. Last time I stopped up there they had the same art in tee shirts form. What size do you wear? We will be going across the mtn. in May and will probably need to make a stop at Mt. Hood.

Grade Stake BM's are just as portable, cause that's what I set.
You can see the little patch of trees in the center of the link (if it works)
My sugarbush is about 1000' east of the edge of the clear cut. You can see the connecticut river to the north which is the vermont border.
