+Michaelcycle Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Thanks, Brian. I learned some things worth knowing. If you still bike the NCR trail there are some nice bolt in chiseled square marks near the PA/MD border, JV1534 , for example. Quote Link to comment
ArtMan Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) I asked Christine if the webinar would be archived for those, like me, who missed it. She says it will be on the "Recorded Webinars" tab on this web-page: http://www.ngs.noaa....webinar_series/ That page seems to have other topics of interest, such as a February presentation on "GPS Observations on Bench Marks" -ArtMan- Edited August 12, 2016 by ArtMan Quote Link to comment

Mike- Glad you were able to dial in - I found it very interesting and useful as well. I was actually pleased to find that I knew a lot about datasheets already just from having used them for benchmark hunting for the past 8 years or so. I ride the NCR trail every now and then and have found a few of those marks. I may be on the trail later this week for a round-trip to York (if I get motivated enough) and may try to grab a few that I've missed. Regards- Brian Quote Link to comment

I was going to check this week to see if the presentation was posted yet - at the end of the webinar they said it would take a week or so. Glad you found and posted it and I'll check out some of the other topics as well. Regards- Brian Quote Link to comment
