I must say I don't much about your summer gig, but I am envious of your travel jobNope. For the last the last 6 Summers, we've worked for a company out of the Tulsa area doing road and pavement condition surveys in various states. This year, we've been working to do roads in Oregon, and we just finished up the initial database of roads on Saturday. We are now waiting to see if there are any roads or sections of roads that we need to do over because of either an equipment or operator error. We just finished the first initial set of redo's yesterday.
We are also waiting to see if the company gets the data needed from the National Park Service to do some of the roads in some of the national parks.
Nothing like a job where one gets paid for seeing new country.
