This is key. You cannot disclaim away your professional obligations. What you can do is describe the obstacles that you faced in making your determina...

It sounds like the pipe may not exist. If so, and the bankrupt pipeline company has no successor in interest, then the easement might be vacated. Whic...

Understood.

Donation land Claims are a major thing in the Greater Portland area. Maybe half of the boundaries in my fair city, by land area, originate from them.

Some of you may be forgetting what a piece of trash the POB Magazine run version of RPLS.com was. So bad that when Wendell started this site (as beerl...

A quick story about PKs. I started my survey career in Canada in 1989. PKs were (almost) unknown. Very rare thing to come across. I spent 1993 workin...
