I have rather specific instructions for it's use. They don't want you to use it for anything other than official business.
Not only that, I've seen Junior High hall passes that look more official than this piece of crap.
I'm more interested in getting my map and getting to work in Marine on Saint Croix!

got mine too. I have been approved for the Saint Paul SW quad. I will also be doing the same area for firewise. _________________ I am amazed by how many people harp on the need to speak and write English in this country while exhibiting a fundamental lack of skills in the areas of spelling and sentence composition.

I'll bet the NMC is having a real wonder about how all of the interest in this area started all of the sudden.
So tell me did you get a nice shinnie gold or silver badge? Next you need some official ID for the car so you can park illegally and go after those caches hehe.
No seriously, I'll be doing the Farmington quad. It will be interesting to see exactly what they want us to collect data on. _________________ Airborne All the Way! |

Go to the web site and look at the volunteer guide. It has a list of facilities they want recorded. _________________ I am amazed by how many people harp on the need to speak and write English in this country while exhibiting a fundamental lack of skills in the areas of spelling and sentence composition.

You could take this from an aerial map with greater precision. |

I'm sure they are using aerial maps as part of their research. Because some objects might be newer than what they have on their aerial maps they probably want confirmation but then again, I am just speculating  _________________ Sad state of affairs. |

And don't forget to keep a log of all the miles you drive doing this. Since you are volunteering for the federal government the mileage is tax deductable. _________________ Airborne All the Way! |
