Dale:
We'll drive straight to Cook Forest tomorrow
per our telephone conversation and then we can plan from there,
based on the available time. On the equipment, yes, I do have
all those items, plus an altimeter, but don't carry them all to
each site. The minimum that always accompanies me is:
1. 2 lasers
2. 3 clinometers
3. Scientific calculator (I need a more
programmable one)
4. CruzAll
5. Prism
6. DBH tape
7. GPS receiver
8. Altimeter (forgot that one - GPS altitudes
suck)
9. Pocket transit
10. Flagging ribbon
Hey, there's that list of 10 again. Something
magic about 10, I guess. If it goes with me, the 300-foot tape
measure is usually carried by someone else (Kim, are you
listening?). Basically, my philosophy is the more gizmos you
have, the better. However, Paul Jost is raising the anti with is
data feeds. Of course, one unit that does it all is the way to
go. That's where Bob Van Pelt shines.
Tomorrow -- COOK FOREST STATE PARK! Cook
rules! Darn it, without BVP, it won't really be a true
rendezvous. Darn it! Darn it! Darn it! Oh well, I guess we'll
just have to drink Bob's portion of brew for him. We'll let you
know whether your portion was good or not, Bob. Hey, what are
friends for?
Bob
