Reply to "Measuring dirt roads"

scotthubbardMember

The 30 km I cite is the only measurement job I've turned down because of any uncertainty I had about a surface. I know, as Pete said, that our method produces the best measurements available but the thought of measuring 11 miles of dirt roads of various shades made me come unhinged a bit.

I'd be curious to see studies that compare different kinds of dirt surfaces to pavement/concrete. Do dirt surfaces make miles longer? Does it depend on the condition of the dirt surface?

Trying to describe where marks are on dirt roads is maddening Jim. Unless it's to a certified point, I'll step off marks to things that appear permanent and let it go at that.
