Some photos from a very a busy summer.

Summer is on its way, the snow is starting to melt, and the schedule is filling up fast. If you have a job that needs doing, let me know, and we can save you a spot on it!

It's going to be nice when I don't have to dig through 3-4 feet of snow, then the frozen ground to find a property corner 😅

The snow is deeper than the lath are tall... had to chop up saplings to stick in the snow instead. Fun times!

Check out my fancy 21st-century version of Giovanni Maria Cassini’s ‘Globo terrestre,’ made in 1790, showing Captain James Cook's three voyages. Cassini’s globes are impressively accurate, considering when they were made (other than forgetting about Antarctica). The good folks at Stanford's David Rumsey Map Collection have digitized it and made a Google Earth overlay.

I found this globe at MOVA Globes, who make some pretty awesome-looking globes.

Cheesy winter quote of the day: "A fresh coat of snow makes the world look like it's covered in glitter."

It's been a pretty good week! Found some monuments from over 100 years ago, walked on some thin ice without falling through and got a workout by poking some holes in a lake. FYI: if you throw rocks on thin ice, it sounds pretty cool.

It's that time of year again... Here at Timberline Surveying and Mapping, we don't let snow, ice, temps in the negatives, or the fact that we can't feel our fingers stop us, though! So, if you need a job done and don't want to wait until summer, we are here for you

Stamping monument caps is an excellent way to wake up in the morning!
