RUBICON SURVEY DAY
JUNE 12th, 2003

FRIENDS OF THE RUBICON (FOTR) AND COUNTY SURVEY CREW GPS LOON TO LITTLE SLUICE

Members of FOTR guided the El Dorado County survey crew from Loon Lake to the Little Sluice (and back) for a day of GPSing the trail (and setting up monuments for further ortho-photo rectifying). We are mapping the entire trail and tying the ground points to aerial photos.

It was a great day and I want to thank Friends of the Rubicon folks for stepping up to the plate to get the job done --- again! Del-

During our Rubicon trips, several FOTR members now carry portable toilets such as ThePett system shown here. Environmental awareness is part of our ongoing eductation process.

During our survey trip, we met two of the deputiesfrom the Quad Squad on patrol. Here they are getting their training. FOTR supports law enforcment!
