I Own Property

I'm surveying a 20 acre property. The property boarders a nature preserve. It's a two day job.

There are no fences or idication of the back property line. You can't pull a tape measure through this thick wooded back yard to get an accurate distance from the front of the property. (times gps tech would be better)

All of this combines into a day of having to blindly roam through thick patches of trees and shrubs looking for existing corners and guessing which corner I just found to search for others. It took hours to find the back two property corners.

Don't get me wrong, this is a good time story. I'm really not complaining. I just want to remember crawling through the woods and digging up almost every piece of metal back there.

Today was a blast. I'm soaking wet from the snow. I'm covered in dirt from digging and chisseling through frozen ground. But I really hope I remeber days like today. Getting to play in basically a forrest preserve all day.

@bigjohndl money is kinda secondary to me. Ive quit a few jobs now that pay really well to try to find something I want to do
