Preston Maness ☭<p>Ho Lee Crap this region is crawling with surveillance. I mean, I kinda figured. It has a reputation as being a "bad" part of town. But damn. Dozens of Flock shot spotters, and at least a dozen ALPRs. Working on adding details to the map now. Used <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/StreetComplete" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StreetComplete</span></a> for initial survey.

Sally Strange<p>I went and did a Solstice survey, but now I can't get the data off the data collection device. Worried I may have accidentally deleted it and will need to do another survey. I worried about this last time I did a survey and it wasn't the case, but I can't help freaking out a bit. Especially since the guy who helped me last time is out in the field right now. /grump</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/surveying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>surveying</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/CAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CAD</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/arcGIS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>arcGIS</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Civil3D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Civil3D</span></a></p>

Jason Stiff<p>I had a 500+ mile adventure on Monday. My third stop was the Montana - South Dakota Corner, which is due to survey error. The surveyor "disregarded the position of the Wyoming corner" by 3/4 of a mile.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Montana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Montana</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SouthDakota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SouthDakota</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/border" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>border</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/borders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>borders</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/corner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>corner</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/geography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>geography</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/map" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>map</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/maps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maps</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/surveying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>surveying</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/surveyor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>surveyor</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/roadtrip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>roadtrip</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/travel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>travel</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/soundon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>soundon</span></a></p>

cs<p>Took a few pics of <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/surveying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>surveying</span></a> markers on my walk this morning. The <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/TWU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TWU</span></a> is obvious, and the [edit: marker] relatively contemporary. The concrete one is about 4.5’ tall and seen around town, but not labeled. I am guessing this means something to someone, but they are unmarked and sometimes crumbling. This one is losing concrete on the reverse side. <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Geodesy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Geodesy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Survey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Survey</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/cadastral" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cadastral</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/cadastralMapping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cadastralMapping</span></a></p>
