Agenda:
Morning Session (8AM-12:00PM): This class shows the importance of the record and lotting on the plats to determine where one might have double corners, bearing breaks, and other phenomena reserved for the township not surveyed all at the same time. This course features real examples from most western states.
Lunch (12:00PM-1:00PM)
Afternoon Session (1:00PM-5:00PM): A half-day course that expands on a number of topics never addressed by GLO or BLM in retracement issues in the PLSS. This course goes into the details of what we need to consider to still be within the scope of the law, as well as what we need to document to show our peers why we did what we did. Examples: Lost corners in section subs, multiple WCs at a section corner, and why the Grant Boundary Method will not work for many non-rectangular entities.
A Presentation by Dennis Mouland, PLS

$50 for Students, $100 for Members, $150 for non-Members
$20 Lunch from Waltzing Kangaroo* featuring gourmet Aussie meat pies, whirled peas and mashed potatoes. Includes drinks and dessert.
