Yes Al, 4019 and 4020. I never understood how 4019 came to be dug out. It was located between a fork in two roads, surrounded by trees and completely out of harm's way. Someone would need to have known it was there and how to find it using the NJ Geodetic tie sheet information. There was nothing...

:) I knew you knew some German but that was impressive ! I had two years of it in high school but I had to use an online translator to fully understand your response. Anywho, the simplest way I could explain the datum concept is that GPS yields a position on the face of the earth. That position...

Wow, that was amazing 46'er. Hard to believe they were both exercising that much restraint.

The GPS information is needed Bob when an agency wants the work in NAD 83 and NAVD 88 datums. It is not used to determine if a survey is right or wrong in any way. A boundary is a boundary and we still use the bearings and distances from the deeds to generate a boundary figure. Putting your...

On Guy's key map above, I did not look for the ones that he circled. I found the pair to the Southwest; 2019 and 2020. The line of sight was over locally named White Bridge which is the wood bridge over the Albertson. 2020 should still be alive. 2019 is in my yard.

Yes. I drive two nails with disks and then the tech occupies the nails with and determines the location and elevations using a GPS receiver. No too long ago, you then had to take the raw data back to the office and post process it to obtain satisfactory results. Today, there are CORS Stations...

Bob, All survey projects have different horizontal and vertical mapping requirements. If I were to survey your property for a simple real estate transfer there would be no requirement to be in the North American Datum of 1983 horizontal coordinate system and in the North American Vertical...

The NJ Geodetic Control Survey monuments that Guy is looking for here are part of a huge network of State monumentation that allowed a surveyor to establish state plane coordinates and grid bearings for any work that required it anywhere in the New Jersey. They were placed within sight of each...

Very nice tribute Chile. Her voice was so pure.

I had mentioned before that Y-Buc Bill talked of purchasing permits to deer hunt from the Wharton Estate caretaker Leeson Small prior to the State acquiring Wharton's holdings. Bill told me he was going to look for an old permit but I don't believe he ever found one. Through the power of Google...

-2 at wake up this morning and just hit 1.8 here.

I am starting to get use to it. I actually might miss it a little. We need these kinds of natural challenges as a bit of a wake-up call every now and then. If nothing else, it makes you realize how quickly you would be in deep trouble without the luxury of basic utilities such as natural gas...

You are correct. Bill always had interesting historic footnotes to add to any conversation regarding Wharton. My favorite was how he used to have to secure a hunting permit each year from Leeson Small who was the caretaker of Wharton's estate before the State purchased it !

Yes, I know Andy very well. I was sighting in at the club a few weeks before PA deer season and he was there doing the same. He used to come out every week with his friend Bill Andrews. Bill Andrews is related to Piney Warden on this site and a member of Moore Deer Club. Andy and Bill Andrews...

The Y Buc nickname was from his deer hunting friends at Retreat. I don't remember the exact details although he did explain it to me once. A Y buck is a deer with two points on each side but not having brow tines. See the example in the link below...

Our Club Secretary reads out the number of consecutive meetings we have had each week and we are over 4,200 right now. I...
