Notes -
2 GPS units used; one base, one on Lidar tower. 8 targets, 4 lidar surveys.
Overcast; no showers as predicted.
Image 3860 was from the north side of south frontage road, facing east to first Lidar setup. (This nail was marked MAG; not used in this survey)
Image 3862 was the radio link benchmark; #3 Towill aerial target.

First lidar scan closest to this radio link. (images 3860 through 3865)
Second lidar scan to west of radio link.
Third lidar scan further west of radio link, nearest benchmark 20193, LS 4495, 2007 (photo 3866).
