- A field crew finishes a hard site early and safely, and heads home before the storm
Hard days
- A boundary question where the old records and the new measurements do not agree
- Crews working in heat and dust, while you are deciding whether to push on or stop
- A client who wants a map sooner and cheaper than good data allows
