ADOT Surveys Wickenburg Way.


There's a major highway and "multi-use trail" project going on Out Wickenburg Way.  Ground has been broken, heavy equipment is in place, and surveyors like my friend here are hard at it.

And what's he up to?

The surveyor's tripod boasts a mounted GPS receiver. Satellite images beam down from space so my guy can verify a survey taken earlier by the excavation contractor. Pretty sophisticated, I thought, and these guys sure do know what they're doing.

I asked my new buddy to remove his sunglasses and smile for the camera. He said he'd better not: ADOT work rules prohibited going "uncovered" while on the job.
