Christmas 2010 update

From Chattahoochee Bend

I've been hard at work, closing in on the final bits. My main problem is the very long walk to get to the final SW corner of the map. I have succeeded once in getting entry to drive around from the construction company. It's very hit and miss in late December. The walk in is about 3 miles. The walk out is 3 miles. Plus the one-mile-an-hour mapping amble that I do. That makes for a very long day.

Here's the progress map. As you can see, only the 100 acres in Heard County in the far SW corner are left:

I have no base map for those 100 acres, so I will have to resort to the old fashioned methods. It will take a couple of days at least, maybe more. Map the linear features first using compass and pacing, then fill in the details. It's not fast, and I wouldn't want to do a large area this way, but it does work.

Estimated time of finish? New Year's day 2011.
