Misty Beller is so interesting. I loved hearing about surveyors. What a dangerous job that was when they first began mapping this country.
Now for the drawing!

Woo-Hoo! We’re so happy for you, Debra! Now watch for Miss Misty’s email.
When I'm not keepin' all these Fillies in line, I'm practicing my roping so I can catch me a cowboy. Me and Jasper (my mule) are two peas in a pod. Both of us are as crotchety as all get-out.
Congratulatons, Debra.
Dang it! I completely missed this. My dad was a land surveyor here in western Colorado and when he first started in our little valley, where a lot of fruit used to be grown, sometimes his beginning point, according to prior descriptions, would be a such and such-sized tree in such and such a row, sometimes using the type of fruit as a reference point. I grew up serving as his rod man many times!
Congratulations, Debra. Enjoy.
