Love that RTK GPS....

Here's a shot of my "Big Help" on the job last Sunday helping out with a little pre-dredge job at Sesuit Harbor, Denis, MA...

Look at all those masts of the sailboats "on the hard."

Pretty interesting that your equipment matches the scenery. Barefoot surveying, something I could get used to.

That was a tear down/scrap off and not surveyed by us! I was very surprised to see that house since the previous was pretty nice!
My control baseline runs along the top of that rock revetment, with a few concrete bounds on the street...

As for Barefoot, well she had been practicing her ballet before I asked if she wanted to run the rod.... I did walk with her and took the rod when we hit the barnacle covered rocks 🙂

Oh, yeah, today is her birthday, 15 years old now...

edit> Where in SC are you? April and I are going to visit my son at Parris Island next week. He's a weapons instructor at the Island...

I wonder / fear that I may have given my 13 year old daughter the surveying bug too...

I am right there with you. I took my daughter surveying last summer when she was 10 years old. My daughter loved it. I was doing a boundary and topo survey for my sister’s new house on Padre Island. I had her climbing up the dunes, digging holes, running levels, and everything.
