No worries.?ÿ Surveying in the PLSS is easy-peasy.?ÿ All the work was done over a hundred years ago;?ÿpermanent monuments were accurately and precisely set, and?ÿa complete, accurate and reliable record was produced and preserved.?ÿ AND?ÿthe icing on the cake is there is a step by step instruction manual to follow....................?ÿ

Yepper, good luck buddy.?ÿ ??ÿ

Well, Leon.?ÿ My impression is that you will either find the charred stake or find sufficient evidence to reestablish the corner.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you find.

Got most of my research done on project today.?ÿ Got all the notes and a few other surveys in the area.?ÿ Have the search all plotted out including the highway through the section. That 1/4 post has already been proportioned in 1987 and a Forest Service survey accepted it in 1996.?ÿ I'll still take a good look around for the bug dust hole and old Aspen bearing trees.?ÿ I've never seen a standing Aspen BT that old but sure would like to find one.?ÿ Doubt the post is still standing but the hole is probably there but how do you find it??ÿ I'll hike in with a probe.?ÿ It's a no development area.

The surveyor that proportioned the corner MISSED a obvious stone 1/4 that I found about ten years ago (N 1/4 of section) and another later guy also found it so maybe there is a chance.

?ÿ

Here is another interesting survey I found doing the research.

Found stones the GLO missed in 1935.?ÿ There is at least one other interesting thing about this survey.
