RE: Boulder Sunday ❤ And The Survey Says ?

in #bouldersunday6 years ago

That is cool, I remember you mentioning the survey marker, but I was just to tired to climb back up and look, I finally get to see it. That rock has been there for a little bit, 1964, I bet that survey team had the time of their life getting to explore and map and mark the area. I wonder if it was marked before or after the big quake? If before did it move and did mother nature get thrown in jail, and fined 250 dollars? inquiring minds and all that hoopla.

Thank you very much ❤ @bashadow! :-)
I'd almost forgotten about this one. Does
make me wonder if it has moved slightly
from quake settling or roadside erosion.
Maybe survey was done after the quake, as it
would still have a lot of snow there possibly
on good friday back in 64.

I remember that one surveyor we spoke to said that he prefered the snow for surveying verse all the mosquitos, but I am not sure he would have chosen winter when it meant camping out because you could not survey for a day back then go home and go back to survey more. It must have been something to be in Alaska during the early years with minimum roads.
