It was a good day for all.
 
Thanks Louis for the story how you actually set up on the monuments back in the 1960s and recorded the declination for the County Surveyor each year. Surveying has changed

R W Eaton Associates 5PM Social 5:30  meeting.

   Speaker

 Robert Yarumian of Maine Boundary Consultants.  

Topic

 A 6,000 acre boundary survey.


    
Robert (Butch) has started a survey project of a 6,000 acre lot. He will share information on logistics,
lost corners, proposed methods  etc.  We can also share our experience with
him on surveying large parcels. 


He
expects to complete the survey by the end of the summer and at that time we can
invite him back to see how well he did.


Not
many 6,000 acres parcels left in Maine to be surveyed;  should
be interesting
