I mainly post photos of surveying upon an uncrowded land, pastures of broomweed, old rusty fences, and the occasional agarito (Berberis trifoliata) bush, hackberry, or prickly ash (Zanthoxylum clava-herculis). But today was different. Today we were surveying in sight of a crowded city with busy sidewalks and cars everywhere. It was just like Connecticut, only with fewer Italians.
Here is a photo:
Oops, I see that I uploaded the wrong photo. Sorry, this really doesn't look that much like Connecticut, I guess. Well, in this photo the receiver is set up on a new rod and cap monument about 2.6 ft. away from the railroad tie fence corner post with the agarito and prickly ash growing up by it. The pasture behind it was thick with broomweed and some mesquites that made driving fun. I guess they have railroad ties in Connecticut, though.

I assume that this is either the parking lot for another McDonald's or a roadside rest stop on the interstate?
McDonald's Parking Lot?
I'm going back to mine tomorrow Kent, I might find you some sushi?
The nearest McD's is a couple miles, you want I should pick you up a McRib?;-)

Damned!, oh the joy it would be to survey some place where a 2 or 300' foresite wasn't considered "long". 🙂

Okay, it looked as if you were on the beach cutting guard stakes from that driftwood. I guess it doesn't have to be dry since it'll get wet as soon as you set it.

the booming metropolis in the background is a town called Bridgeport... there is no McDonalds there, but they did have a gas station that sells hot dogs, and a Mexican grocery store
(I took that pic 5 years ago, there could be a WalMart there by now)

I agree with you Ed. This is very typical for our area.
That looks brutal!
We get some of that-not as dense.
But usually it's more like this:
Really long backsights.
Recent work in Pecos County (west of the Pecos River) between Frank Friend's University Land monuments and the newly reconstructed fence on the east side of Blocks 16 and 17.
And following the survey, here comes the drilling rig (dust trail below and right of the sun) to spud the well, preserving the 50,000 acre lease set to expire at midnight if the well is not started.
