+SixDogTeam Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 What I'm about to tell you is true, I swear it. It just happened a few hours ago. What are the odds that you would meet a USCGS or whatever they are guy while benchmarking? A billion to one? I'm standing next to this corn field at an intersection of two state hiways, taking a pic of a benchmark. This guy pulls up to the stop sign in a ratty old Blazer, with his little girl in the front and yells out "The marker OK?"--then when I walk over he proceeds to tell me he works for the US something or other whatever they call it, I show him my Benchmark printout and tell him what I'm doing and he says he just heard about Geocaching--Well a car comes up, so he's got to go, but not before he complains about how they're gonna make him count frogs this year, but won't explain it. Off he goes, on the back of the Blazer, he's got vinyl letters "USC"or "USG" or something like that and (of course) "SETI" !!!!-- this is the truth-corse it could just be undercover FBI keeping tabs on me, wondering why I'm driving all over the county, etc.-- what's this frog business???? ANy ideas? woo-woo-wuf!! Quote
+headmj Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 COOL! With as wet as it has been back here in the east my week in the woods in Allegany State Park last week showed A huge number of frogs. Way more than last year. So, yea i think I have been counting frogs this year. Quote
+happycycler Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 Well I believe that the USGS does some wildlife monitoring -- so if he was from USGS maybe he is concerned about a future job reorganization? I found this site the other day: amphibian_monitoring. The page has a USGS Banner at the top.... Quote
+Moonbase Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 I have been a grunt for a survey company for A while now. People are just Qurios. And most bench marks are on Private property. I have had my *** chewed a lot by peolpe that inherited the land and did not know that they also inherited the VABM. I don't know what counting frogs are. Maybe just -- Sounds like a FBI Has made a bitter enemy.--- Works for the gov.--- Well that explaines it. Hell Don't give it another thought. --git a good nights sleep. Quote
